A heavy, geometric display sans built from straight strokes and sharp chamfered corners, with planar facets standing in for curves. Forms are predominantly rectangular with clipped diagonals at terminals and joins, producing octagonal counters in letters like O and D and angular bowls in P/R. Stroke weight is consistently robust and even, with tight internal apertures and sturdy horizontals; the overall rhythm reads compact and structural. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with squared-off curves and clean, hard joins that keep the set visually uniform.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where its faceted construction can read as a design feature. It also works well for game or hardware-themed interfaces and team or event graphics that benefit from a tough, angular presence.
The crisp facets and industrial geometry give the typeface a tough, engineered voice that feels at home in sci‑fi and tech contexts. Its bold, blocklike silhouettes also evoke arcade cabinets, sports signage, and other high-impact, utilitarian graphics where clarity and attitude matter more than softness.
The design appears intended to translate a purely geometric, hard-edged aesthetic into a coherent alphabet—replacing curves with controlled chamfers to create a bold, durable look that holds up at large sizes and in high-contrast applications.
Diagonal cuts are used systematically to soften corners without introducing true curvature, creating a consistent “machined” finish across caps, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase construction closely, reinforcing a disciplined, modular feel in running text while remaining distinctly display-oriented.
