A heavy, geometric sans with faceted, chamfered corners that replace most curves with short straight segments. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and counters tend toward squared or octagonal shapes, giving letters like O/Q and numerals a cut-corner, industrial feel. The design reads as slightly extended with broad proportions and strong horizontals, while joins and terminals stay crisp and planar. The lowercase maintains sturdy, compact forms with a single-storey a and g, and the overall rhythm is built on repeated angles and flat edges rather than roundness.
Best suited to display applications where its angular construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, branding marks, apparel/sports graphics, packaging, and UI titles in tech or game contexts. It can also work for short blocks of copy when generous size and spacing are available, but it is primarily optimized for bold, high-impact messaging.
The faceted geometry and hard-edged terminals convey a mechanical, engineered tone that feels at home in technology-forward and action-oriented settings. Its assertive weight and angular silhouettes suggest durability, speed, and a contemporary, game/arcade-adjacent mood without becoming decorative or script-like.
The design appears intended to merge a utilitarian sans foundation with a planar, machined aesthetic, using consistent chamfers to create a distinctive, cohesive silhouette system. The goal is strong recognizability and a modern, constructed feel, emphasizing presence and clarity over softness or calligraphic nuance.
The octagonal construction is especially apparent in rounded characters and numerals, where consistent corner cuts unify the set. Angular diagonals (e.g., in A, K, V, W, X) stay clean and stable, supporting strong headline impact at medium to large sizes.
