A heavy, block-built display sans with faceted, chamfered corners that substitute for curves, producing an octagonal, machined silhouette across the alphabet. Strokes are consistently thick and largely monolinear, with rectangular counters and notches that carve out interior space in letters like A, B, and R. The overall rhythm is compact and sturdy, with squared terminals, straight-sided bowls, and a distinctly geometric construction that stays crisp at large sizes. Numerals echo the same cut-corner logic, giving the set a cohesive, stamped-industrial feel.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, team or event branding, and logo wordmarks. It also fits game titles and interface labels where an angular, techno-industrial voice is desirable, and works well for numbers in scoreboards, badges, and display graphics.
The face reads tough and mechanical, with a retro-digital edge reminiscent of arcade titles, sci‑fi interfaces, and utilitarian signage. Its sharp facets and dense black shape convey authority and impact, making it feel bold, functional, and slightly aggressive rather than friendly or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a geometric, faceted construction that reads like beveled metal or cut vinyl. By replacing curves with planar chamfers and keeping stroke weight strong and consistent, it aims for a hard-edged display voice that feels engineered and instantly attention-grabbing.
Because many forms rely on tight rectangular counters and small cutouts, the font is most convincing where the faceting can be clearly seen; at smaller sizes those interior details may begin to visually close. The mix of straight cuts and occasional stepped joins creates a deliberate, constructed look that stays consistent from uppercase to lowercase and figures.
