A heavy, geometric sans with faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by straight segments and chamfered corners, producing an octagonal silhouette across rounds and bowls. Strokes are uniform in thickness with crisp terminals, and counters tend to be compact and squared off, giving the letters a dense, engineered color. Uppercase forms feel broad and stable, while the lowercase maintains a very large x-height with simplified, single-storey structures and minimal calligraphic variation. The overall rhythm is blocky and consistent, with sharp diagonals and clipped joins used to resolve corners and intersections.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, logos, esports or gaming graphics, and tech-forward branding where a sharp, engineered voice is desirable. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers in interfaces, provided sizing and spacing keep the compact counters clear.
The faceted geometry and hard edges create a distinctly technical, sci‑fi tone—more console and machinery than editorial. Its compact counters and squared rounds convey toughness and precision, with an assertive, game-like energy that reads as modern and synthetic.
The design appears intended to translate a futuristic, industrial aesthetic into a clean sans structure by substituting curves with planar facets and consistent chamfers. The result prioritizes a strong silhouette and a cohesive system of angles, aiming for impact and a highly synthetic, digital feel.
Numerals and capitals share the same chamfered logic, keeping rounds (like 0/8/9) and diagonals (like V/W/X/Y) visually unified. The heavy weight and tight interior spaces make the design most comfortable at medium-to-large sizes where the internal cut-ins and corners stay legible.
