A geometric, angular sans with sharp planar cuts that replace most curves, producing a faceted, machined silhouette. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with squared terminals and frequent diagonal chamfers at corners. Counters tend to be rectangular or squarish, apertures are tight, and many forms feel built from straight segments (notably in rounded letters and numerals). The lowercase is compact with a straightforward, upright construction, while capitals read as sturdy and modular; overall spacing and rhythm favor strong, graphic word shapes over delicate detail.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, title cards, logos, packaging, and signage where its angular construction can be appreciated. It also works well for UI labels, game/tech themes, and product markings that benefit from an industrial, tactical feel, while longer passages may be more comfortable with generous leading and size.
The face conveys a hard-edged, engineered tone—confident, utilitarian, and slightly futuristic. Its faceting and clipped corners suggest technical hardware, industrial labeling, and sci-fi interface typography, giving text a decisive, no-nonsense character.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, cut-metal aesthetic, prioritizing strong silhouettes and consistent corner chamfers. It aims for an assertive display voice that remains legible in bold applications while signaling a contemporary, technical mood.
Distinctive chamfering is consistent across the set and helps maintain clarity at display sizes, though the tight counters and reduced curvature can make dense paragraphs feel heavy. Numerals follow the same squared logic, reinforcing a uniform, system-like appearance in mixed alphanumeric settings.
