A hard-edged display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar chamfers. Counters and bowls are largely rectilinear and octagonal in feel, producing a consistent faceted rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Terminals are square and decisive, with compact apertures and sturdy joins; diagonals (as in V, W, X, Y, and Z) keep the same angular logic. The overall color is dense and even, reading as a solid block texture in both single letters and continuous text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, team or event branding, and packaging where an angular, high-impact voice is desirable. It can also work for short UI labels, badges, and signage-style compositions when set with generous spacing and at display sizes.
The faceted construction conveys a tough, engineered tone—part sports stencil, part sci‑fi interface. Its sharp geometry feels assertive and purposeful, leaning toward utilitarian signage and competitive branding rather than casual or literary settings.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, machined aesthetic into an easily repeatable letterform system, prioritizing crisp edges and a consistent chamfer language over calligraphic nuance. It aims for strong presence and immediate recognition in bold display contexts.
The sample text shows strong word-shape stability at larger sizes, with distinctive angular silhouettes that keep characters recognizable. The numerals maintain the same clipped-corner motif, and punctuation such as the dot and apostrophe appear as simple squared elements that match the font’s mechanical character.
