A heavy, geometric sans built from crisp planar cuts that replace most curves with chamfered edges and flat facets. Strokes are thick and uniform with squared terminals, creating compact counters and a solid, poster-like color on the page. Bowls and rounds (C, G, O, Q, 0) read as squarish octagons, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, y) are sharply cut and tightly controlled. The overall rhythm is sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, with consistent cap height and a straightforward, utilitarian construction across letters and figures.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, product marks, team or event branding, and packaging where strong silhouette and dense texture are an advantage. It also works well for labels, badges, and UI moments that need a sturdy, industrial voice, but it is less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes due to tight counters and heavy mass.
The faceted construction gives the typeface a hard-edged, engineered attitude—confident, rugged, and a bit retro. It suggests stamped metal, sports numerals, or arcade-era signage, delivering a direct, no-nonsense tone that favors impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a cut-metal, chamfered aesthetic—prioritizing sturdy silhouettes, consistent weight, and a distinctive faceted motif that remains legible in bold display settings.
Counters are relatively tight and joins are abrupt, which increases density and makes the face feel powerful at display sizes. The uppercase forms are especially boxy and architectural, while lowercase maintains the same cut-corner logic for a cohesive texture. Numerals share the same squared, chamfered geometry, keeping mixed alphanumeric settings visually unified.
