A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and sharply chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Counters tend toward octagonal/rectilinear shapes (notably in O, Q, 0, 8), and terminals are consistently cut on angles, producing a crisp, mechanical edge. Proportions run broad with substantial caps and sturdy lowercases; apertures are tight and joinery is firm, giving dense, high-impact word shapes. Numerals follow the same faceted construction with squared bowls and clipped corners for a cohesive alphanumeric texture.
Best suited for short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, team or esports identities, packaging callouts, and bold interface labels where a rugged, geometric voice is desired. It can also work for event titling or signage that benefits from sharp silhouettes and an industrial edge.
The overall tone is tough and modern, with a distinctly engineered, hardware-like feel. Its angular construction reads as sporty and tactical, projecting confidence and intensity rather than softness or warmth.
The design appears intended to translate the look of stenciled or machined geometry into a clean sans system, prioritizing impact, uniform angularity, and a cohesive faceted construction across letters and figures.
Diagonal cuts are used as a unifying motif across the set, creating a consistent rhythm of facets along horizontals, verticals, and diagonals. The face holds strong at large sizes where the corner geometry becomes a defining graphic element, while smaller sizes may emphasize its compact counters and tight interior spaces.
