A compact, heavy display face built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with sharp, planar facets. Counters tend to be squarish and tightly held, giving letters a dense, sign-like color and strong vertical rhythm. Stroke terminals are consistently chamfered, and round forms like O, C, and G resolve into octagonal silhouettes; diagonals appear on K, X, and Y but remain firmly geometric. Lowercase follows the same constructed logic with simplified forms and minimal modulation, keeping texture consistent across mixed-case settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, wordmarks, and packaging where a bold, constructed voice is desired. It also fits sports branding, arcade- or tech-themed graphics, and wayfinding-style titling, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone feels engineered and no-nonsense, with a retro-industrial edge reminiscent of varsity, arcade, and utilitarian labeling. Its faceted geometry reads loud and confident, projecting strength and precision rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a disciplined, geometric construction, using chamfered corners to suggest machining and solidity. The consistent faceting system provides a distinctive hook for display typography while keeping letterforms straightforward and highly legible at headline scales.
The tight interior spaces and squared apertures favor larger sizes where the facets and notch details remain clear. Numerals mirror the same clipped geometry, maintaining a uniform, robust presence in headings and short bursts of text.
