A condensed, all-straight display sans built from rigid verticals and horizontals with consistent stroke weight and frequent chamfered corners. Curves are largely replaced by clipped, octagonal facets, creating blocky counters and squared bowls throughout. Terminals are abrupt and geometric, with tight interior spacing and a compact footprint that stacks cleanly in lines. Numerals and capitals keep a uniform, engineered rhythm, while the lowercase follows the same angular construction for a cohesive, modular texture.
Best suited to large-scale typography where its chamfered geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logotypes, labels, and bold interface or wayfinding moments. It also fits sports and tech-leaning branding systems that want compact width and a strong, engineered texture.
The overall tone feels mechanical and hard-edged, with a retro-tech flavor reminiscent of signage, equipment labeling, and arcade-era display lettering. Its faceted geometry reads assertive and functional, projecting a sturdy, no-nonsense attitude with a hint of sci‑fi styling.
The font appears intended to translate a strict, machine-cut geometric concept into a compact display alphabet, using repeated facets to suggest speed, precision, and industrial robustness while maintaining consistent stroke construction across cases and numerals.
The design relies on repeated corner cuts and straight joins, which gives it a stenciled-by-machine precision even though the strokes remain unbroken. At smaller sizes the tight counters and angular notches may reduce clarity, but at headline and graphic sizes the distinctive facets become a defining feature.
