A faceted, angular sans with chamfered corners that replace curves with short planar segments. Strokes are sturdy and mostly monolinear, producing compact, high-impact letterforms with squared counters and octagonal bowls. The capitals read tall and slightly condensed, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, utilitarian structure with simplified joins and minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic for a consistent, stencil-like geometry without actual breaks.
Best suited for headlines, logos, packaging, and poster work where its angular facets can be appreciated. It also works well for wayfinding, team or esports-style identities, and product labeling that benefits from a tough, engineered voice, while longer text is more comfortable at larger sizes with generous tracking.
The overall tone is mechanical and decisive, with a hard-edged rhythm that suggests engineered surfaces and functional signage. Its sharp geometry lends a competitive, high-energy feel that can read as tactical or sport-oriented depending on context.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, cut-metal aesthetic into a clean sans structure, prioritizing strong silhouettes and consistent chamfered detailing. It aims for a modern industrial look while staying legible and systematic across letters and numerals.
The faceting is applied consistently across straight strokes, terminals, and bowls, creating a distinctive polygonal silhouette at both display sizes and in longer lines. Interior spaces are kept open enough for clarity, but the compact shapes and tight angular details give it the most personality at larger settings.
