A sharply faceted display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with angled planes. Stems are heavy and largely uniform in thickness, with squared terminals and frequent 45° chamfers that create an octagonal rhythm across rounds and diagonals. Counters tend to be narrow and geometric, with compact interior spaces in letters like O, P, and R, and a generally tall, constructed silhouette. Spacing and widths vary noticeably between glyphs, giving the texture a punchy, mechanical cadence rather than a strictly modular feel.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, posters, game titles, brand marks, and packaging where the faceted geometry can be read at size. It can also work for UI-like labels or signage-inspired graphics, but its tight counters and strong angularity favor display settings over extended reading.
The overall tone reads as engineered and assertive, with a distinct retro-futurist/arcade flavor. Its hard edges and beveled geometry evoke machinery, sci‑fi interfaces, and stencil-like signage, projecting a confident, high-impact voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a geometric, faceted alternative to rounded sans forms—prioritizing a chiseled, planar look that stays consistent across letters and figures while maximizing impact in display typography.
Diagonal facets are used consistently at outer corners and on implied curves, which helps unify uppercase and lowercase forms. Numerals follow the same clipped geometry and feel particularly sign-ready, while the lowercase keeps a compact, utilitarian construction that maintains the font’s rigid, technical character.
