A heavy, angular sans with straight strokes and faceted corners that replace curves with clipped, planar cuts. Forms are largely built from verticals and horizontals with consistent stroke thickness and sharply chamfered joins, creating octagonal counters in round letters. The uppercase set is wide and blocky, while lowercase stays compact with simplified, geometric bowls and terminals; diagonals in letters like K, X, and Y are crisp and steep. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, with clearly segmented shapes and squared-off interior spaces that reinforce a constructed, modular rhythm.
Best suited to display sizes where the faceted details and cut corners read clearly—headlines, posters, branding marks, and bold packaging. It also works well for UI titles, game graphics, and tech or sports-oriented visuals that benefit from a rugged, engineered texture.
The overall tone feels engineered and futuristic, with a retro digital edge reminiscent of arcade, sci-fi UI, and industrial labeling. Its sharp facets and sturdy weight project strength, precision, and a slightly aggressive, high-impact attitude.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, machined aesthetic into a legible sans, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a distinctive faceted construction over smooth curves. Its consistent chamfer logic suggests a focus on creating a cohesive, instantly recognizable display voice across letters and numbers.
Counters tend to be small and polygonal, and many terminals end in decisive diagonal cuts rather than rounded or tapered finishes. The design maintains a consistent silhouette language across caps, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing hard geometry and a tightly controlled texture in text.
