A heavy, geometric sans with octagonal construction and consistent chamfered corners that replace most curves with planar facets. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness, producing a crisp, engineered texture and a strong dark color on the page. Counters are squared-off and compact, with generous corner cuts that keep apertures open; diagonals appear on letters like K, V, W, X, Y and the numerals, reinforcing the faceted rhythm. The lowercase follows the same angular logic, with single-storey forms and a squared, modular feel that stays coherent across letters and digits.
Well-suited for bold headlines, display typography, and graphic applications where a technical, angular look is desired—such as sports and esports identities, product marks, packaging, signage, and event posters. It can also work for interface-style labels or short bursts of text when you want an engineered, futuristic accent.
The overall tone is mechanical and performance-driven, with a distinctly futuristic edge and a hint of vintage digital or arcade styling. Its sharp terminals and clipped corners convey precision, strength, and speed, making the voice feel confident and utilitarian rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a simple sans skeleton into an angular, faceted construction, prioritizing impact, consistency, and a crisp geometric rhythm. The uniform stroke behavior and repeated corner cuts suggest an intention to feel modular and machine-made while remaining readable in display settings.
The design reads best when the faceted corners can be seen clearly; at smaller sizes the tight counters and dense weight may soften fine distinctions between similar shapes. Numerals share the same chamfered geometry, supporting a cohesive typographic system for headings and UI-style labeling.
