A heavy, block-built sans with chamfered corners that replace curves with flat facets. Strokes are largely monolinear, with square terminals and clipped joins that create an octagonal, engineered silhouette across rounds like C, O, and Q. Proportions are compact with sturdy verticals, tight interior counters, and a consistent, stencil-like geometry without actual breaks. The lowercase follows the same faceted construction, with simple, straight-sided bowls and a sturdy, utilitarian rhythm; figures are similarly squared and angular for strong alignment in display settings.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its angular construction can read clearly and project impact—posters, headlines, branding marks, team or event graphics, and product packaging. It also works well for numbers in scoreboard-style applications and bold labels where a rugged, technical look is desired.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, athletic signage, and arcade-era digital aesthetics. Its sharp facets and dense color give it a no-nonsense, high-impact voice that reads as assertive and mechanical rather than friendly or informal.
The design appears intended to translate traditional sans forms into a faceted, planar system that maintains legibility while emphasizing a machined, octagonal motif. It prioritizes consistent geometry and strong visual mass for attention-grabbing display typography.
Diagonal strokes (notably in K, R, V, W, X, Y) keep a crisp, machined feel, while the repeated corner chamfers provide cohesion from glyph to glyph. The bold weight and tight counters can increase visual punch but may reduce clarity at small sizes, especially in dense paragraphs.
