A heavy, block-built sans that replaces curves with crisp planar cuts, yielding octagonal bowls and chamfered corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with squared terminals, producing a rigid, mechanical rhythm and a strong grid fit. Counters are compact but clearly opened by the faceting, and diagonals (as in V, W, X, Y) are steep and clean, reinforcing the geometric, constructed feel. Figures follow the same chiseled logic, with a notably faceted 0 and angular 8/9 forms that read as engineered rather than drawn.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, labels, and signage where the angular construction can be appreciated. It also works well for UI moments that want a technical or game-like flavor—titles, buttons, badges, or readouts—especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is technical and industrial, with a hint of retro arcade or scoreboard energy. Its sharp corners and uniform heft create an assertive, no-nonsense voice that feels utilitarian, coded, and machine-adjacent.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, faceted construction into a sturdy sans voice: maximizing impact and consistency while evoking machined lettering and digital-era display aesthetics. The deliberate corner-cutting provides character and recognizability without introducing contrast or ornament.
The faceting is applied very consistently across rounds and joins, which keeps the texture even in longer paragraphs. The design favors solidity over openness, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect readability in dense text.
