A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Counters tend toward octagonal or rectangular shapes, and terminals are consistently chamfered, giving a machined, cut-metal feel. The uppercase reads compact and sturdy, while the lowercase keeps the same angular construction with simplified bowls and sharp joins; round letters like O, C, and G become faceted polygons. Numerals follow the same approach, with squared shoulders and angled cuts that keep shapes stable and uniform at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where the angular construction can read clearly and contribute character—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and bold wayfinding or label-style signage. It can also work for UI/game titles or technical-themed graphics when a hard-edged, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone is rugged and mechanical, suggesting engineered signage, arcade-era tech, and utilitarian labeling. Its sharp geometry and dense black shapes project confidence and a no-nonsense, industrial character rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to translate classic sans structures into a faceted, cut-corner system, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a consistent chamfer vocabulary. It aims for high-impact display readability while evoking industrial and techno aesthetics through polygonal curves and squared detailing.
The faceting is applied consistently across the set, creating a strong rhythm of angles and flat edges. Distinctive polygonal rounds and squared apertures make it especially recognizable in short words and headlines, where the pattern of chamfers becomes a key visual motif.
