A decorative serif with heavy, monoline stems and sharply faceted, chamfered corners that give many counters and terminals an octagonal feel. The letterforms are built from straight segments with minimal curvature, producing a sturdy, engineered rhythm and a distinctly geometric silhouette. Serifs are small but pronounced and often wedge-like, while joints and terminals favor hard angles over smooth transitions. Spacing and proportions read compact and assertive, with strong verticals and consistent stroke weight that holds up well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging titles, and signage where its faceted serifs and blocky geometry can be appreciated. It can also work well for sports or team branding and other bold identity applications that benefit from a tough, engineered texture.
The overall tone feels industrial and authoritative, combining a blackletter-adjacent severity with a modern, machined finish. Its angular cuts and blocky presence evoke signage, uniforms, and retro display typography, projecting confidence and impact rather than softness or nuance.
The design appears intended to translate traditional serif cues into a sharply geometric, display-oriented voice, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a machined, chiseled aesthetic. Its consistent stroke weight and angular detailing suggest a focus on impact, legibility at larger sizes, and a distinctive, emblematic look.
The octagonal construction is especially evident in rounded characters (such as O, Q, and 0) and in the squared-off treatment of curves across the lowercase, which keeps texture crisp and graphic. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, creating a cohesive alphanumeric set that reads as intentionally stylized.
