A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. The forms feel octagonal, with consistent stroke thickness and short diagonal chamfers at terminals and inside corners. Counters are mostly rectangular and compact, creating a tight, solid color on the line. Spacing reads fairly even, while the overall rhythm is driven by squared shoulders, notches, and bracket-free joins that emphasize a constructed, machine-cut look.
Well-suited for logos, headlines, and short statements where a bold, angular voice is desired. It also fits product packaging, sports or industrial branding, and game/UI titling where a retro-tech, machined aesthetic helps set the tone. For extended body text, larger sizes and generous tracking help preserve clarity of the faceted details.
The faceted construction and blocky silhouettes give the font a rugged, utilitarian tone with a strong tech and retro-digital flavor. It evokes industrial signage and arcade-era display lettering, feeling assertive and engineered rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary display sans that substitutes curves with beveled planes to create a precise, fabricated character. Its consistent stroke weight and chamfer system suggest a goal of visual cohesion across letters and numerals while projecting a sturdy, engineered personality.
Uppercase and lowercase share a closely related geometric skeleton, with single-storey lowercase where applicable and squared bowls that keep the texture uniform. Numerals follow the same chamfered logic, maintaining legibility through large apertures and simplified shapes. The design’s crisp edges and dense counters make it most comfortable at medium-to-large sizes where the facets remain distinct.
