A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with faceted, octagonal construction. Strokes are consistently thick and the joins are abrupt, producing a hard-edged silhouette with small counters and tight internal space. Proportions are broad and sturdy with squared terminals, and round letters like O/Q and numerals like 0/8 read as cut-corner polygons. Lowercase follows the same engineered logic, with compact bowls and angular apertures that keep the texture dense and uniform.
Best used at display sizes where its faceted construction and bold silhouettes can read cleanly—headlines, posters, esports and game UI titling, product marks, and event branding. It also works well for short labels and numerals where a compact, industrial feel is desired.
The faceted geometry and strong, cut-metal corners create a distinctly techno and arcade-like tone. It feels rugged and mechanical, with an assertive, high-impact presence suited to energetic, action-oriented messaging.
The design appears intended to translate a futuristic, manufactured aesthetic into a straightforward sans system by substituting curves with planar facets. It aims for maximum impact and a cohesive geometric voice, evoking stamped lettering, sci‑fi interfaces, and arcade-era display type.
The angular cuts are applied consistently across diagonals, corners, and bowls, giving the face a cohesive ‘machined’ rhythm. The tight counters and simplified forms prioritize punch and silhouette over delicate detail, especially in smaller text.
