A geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets that create an octagonal, engineered silhouette. Stems are heavy and consistent, with minimal contrast and crisp terminals; counters tend toward squarish shapes with chamfered interior corners. Proportions are slightly condensed and compact in feel, with tight apertures and sturdy joins that emphasize a blocky rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals read especially strong and structured, while lowercase forms keep the same faceted logic with simplified bowls and sharp, mechanical shoulders.
Best suited to display roles where its faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold identity work. It also fits interface or in-world UI styling for games and tech-themed graphics, as well as athletic/industrial branding that benefits from a tough, geometric presence.
The overall tone is hard-edged and functional, evoking industrial labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, and competitive, equipment-forward branding. Its sharp geometry and dense color give it a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels modern and engineered rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The letterforms appear intended to translate a geometric, cut-metal or panel-based aesthetic into a robust sans, keeping strokes simple and corners consistently chamfered for a cohesive, modular look. The focus is on creating a distinctive, high-impact texture that remains orderly across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Diagonal cuts are used consistently to soften outer corners while maintaining a strict straight-line construction, producing a recognizable "machined" texture. The design prioritizes graphic impact and uniformity over open, airy readability at small sizes.
