A faceted, angular sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar chamfers. Stems are thick and even, with a compact, sturdy build and tight internal counters that read as polygonal openings. Round letters (C, G, O, Q) become octagonal forms, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are sharply cut and assertive. The lowercase follows the same hard-edged construction with a single-storey a and g, and a squared, utilitarian rhythm that stays consistent from letters to numerals.
Best suited to display applications where its faceted structure and dense color can deliver immediate presence—headlines, posters, branding marks, apparel graphics, and energetic packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or signage where a tough, engineered voice is desired, but the compact counters suggest avoiding very small sizes for extended reading.
The overall tone is tough and mechanical, with a sporty, utilitarian energy reminiscent of stenciled or machined lettering. Its sharp facets and heavy mass convey durability and impact, leaning toward a techno-industrial and action-oriented feel rather than a friendly or literary one.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a geometric, machined aesthetic into a straightforward sans structure, prioritizing impact and a distinctive angular signature. The consistent chamfering across characters suggests an intention to feel robust, modern-industrial, and easily recognizable in bold display settings.
The design’s many clipped terminals create a distinctive sparkle along baselines and caps, especially in longer text, while the polygonal counters keep the texture dense. Numerals echo the same octagonal logic, helping maintain a cohesive voice across alphanumerics.
