A blocky, faceted sans with octagonal silhouettes and straight, planar cuts replacing curves. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with chamfered corners and frequent 45° joins that create a crisp, machined rhythm. Counters tend toward squared or clipped-rectangular shapes, and the overall letterforms are compact and sturdy with minimal curvature. The lowercase follows the same angular construction, with single-storey forms and simplified terminals that keep a consistent, modular feel across the set.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short emphatic statements where the bold, faceted construction can read at a glance. It also fits tech-forward branding, esports or sports-style marks, packaging callouts, and interface or HUD-style display text. For longer copy, it will typically work better at larger sizes with generous spacing to preserve clarity in the tight, angular counters.
The faceted geometry and clipped corners give the type a tough, engineered tone that reads as futuristic and utilitarian. Its hard edges and dense color feel reminiscent of sci‑fi interfaces, arcade/game graphics, and industrial labeling where impact and attitude matter more than warmth.
The design appears intended to translate a rigid, geometric construction into a contemporary display sans, using consistent chamfers and planar cuts to suggest speed, machinery, and digital hardware. The simplified, modular lowercase and squared counters support a cohesive system aimed at branding and high-impact titling.
Diagonal facets are used systematically at corners and joins, producing a coherent “cut metal” effect across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The numerals are similarly squared and condensed in feel, helping maintain a uniform, signage-like texture in mixed alphanumeric strings.
