A faceted, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, with curve-like forms resolved into chamfered planes. Counters are mostly rectangular or octagonal and stay open and sturdy at display sizes, while joins remain crisp and mechanical. The proportions lean broad and stable, and the rhythm is slightly uneven in a purposeful way due to the faceting and the compact, modular construction. Numerals and capitals share a consistent, hard-edged silhouette that reads cleanly in high-contrast settings.
Best suited to display work where the faceted geometry can read as a deliberate stylistic cue—headlines, posters, logos, and bold packaging. It also fits UI-styled graphics, game/event branding, and sports or esports identities where a mechanical, angular voice is desired.
The overall tone feels technical and engineered, with a retro-digital edge reminiscent of arcade graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its sharp facets and sturdy shapes project strength, precision, and a no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to translate rounded glyph structures into a planar, chamfered system that feels both futuristic and rugged. By keeping strokes robust and corners clipped, it prioritizes impact, clarity, and a cohesive hard-edged aesthetic in display sizes.
Diagonal cuts are used as the primary detailing device, creating a consistent octagonal theme across rounds and terminals. Lowercase forms remain fairly structured and schematic, favoring simplified geometry over handwriting-like modulation, which keeps texture uniform in short lines and headlines.
