A heavy, geometric sans with sharply chamfered corners and planar facets that replace most curves. Strokes are uniform and squared-off, with octagonal bowls and counters that create a crisp, machined rhythm. Terminals are flat and orthogonal, while angled cuts at joins and corners add a consistent “beveled” silhouette across rounds and diagonals. Spacing and proportions feel sturdy and compact, producing strong word shapes that stay coherent in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
Best suited to display sizes where the faceted detailing can read clearly: headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging. It also works well for athletic graphics, team apparel, event signage, and UI or product labeling that benefits from a technical, industrial tone.
The faceted construction reads as mechanical and utilitarian, evoking stamped metal, equipment labeling, and sport numbering. Its angularity also gives it a slightly retro, arcade-and-scoreboard energy, with an assertive, no-nonsense voice.
Likely designed to translate the look of beveled, cut, or stamped lettering into a clean typographic system, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a consistent set of chamfers. The emphasis appears to be on impact and a distinctive, engineered personality rather than neutrality for long-form reading.
The design relies on repeated chamfer angles to unify forms, making letters like O/Q/C/G and figures such as 0/6/8/9 feel especially cohesive. The numerals are similarly octagonal and sign-like, supporting a consistent system for headings and display typography.
