A compact, faceted display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners that substitute for curves. Stems and horizontals are heavy and uniform, with squared counters and small rectangular apertures that create a rigid, architectural rhythm. Joins often resolve into beveled wedges, giving terminals a cut-metal look and keeping curves (as in C, S, and G) firmly polygonal. The lowercase maintains the same geometric discipline as the uppercase, with blocky bowls and tight internal spacing; figures follow suit with squared shapes and crisp right angles.
Well-suited for punchy headlines, branding marks, and short statements where the faceted geometry can be a visual feature. It also fits industrial or tech-themed packaging, labels, UI titles, and signage that benefits from strong, blocky letterforms.
The overall tone feels mechanical and assertive, with a utilitarian, engineered character. Its sharp planar cuts and dense blackness suggest machinery, signage, and tech-forward branding, while the angular construction also carries a subtle retro arcade/industrial poster flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a solid, high-impact sans with a distinctive faceted construction—prioritizing sharp geometry and an engineered feel over smooth curvature. The consistent beveled terminals and squared counters suggest a deliberate attempt to evoke cut metal, machined parts, or modular digital styling in display typography.
Because the forms rely on small counters and tight apertures, the face reads strongest at headline sizes where the faceting is clearly visible. The consistent beveling and modular construction help maintain a steady texture across mixed-case settings, though the busier interior shapes can look darker in longer text blocks.
