This typeface uses straight strokes and clipped corners to replace curves with crisp planar facets, producing an octagonal, chamfered silhouette across rounds and joins. Strokes appear consistently heavy and even, with squared terminals and frequent diagonal cuts at corners that create a mechanical, modular rhythm. Counters are generally open and geometric, and the overall construction favors sturdy, block-like forms with clear separation between stems, bowls, and diagonals. Uppercase and lowercase share the same faceted logic, and the numerals follow suit with hard angles and flattened curves.
This font is well suited to short-form display work such as headlines, posters, identity marks, and packaging where its angular construction can be a central visual feature. It also fits tech-leaning applications like gaming UI, event graphics, and product branding where a rugged, engineered voice is desired. For extended reading, it will be strongest at larger sizes where the faceted details remain clear.
The faceted geometry and uniform weight give the font a technical, industrial tone that feels engineered and performance-oriented. Its sharp cornering and compact, blocky shapes read as modern and slightly retro-digital, evoking arcade, sci‑fi interface, and sports-uniform energy without becoming decorative.
The design intention appears to be a clean sans framework reinterpreted through systematic corner chamfers, turning curves into planar facets for a distinct geometric signature. It aims to balance recognizability with a bold, mechanical aesthetic that signals modernity, durability, and precision.
Diagonal corner cuts are used consistently as a defining motif, especially on rounded letters and on terminals, creating a distinctive “machined” edge. The lowercase is straightforward and utilitarian, prioritizing structural clarity over calligraphic nuance, while the overall spacing and proportions support punchy, high-contrast word shapes in display settings.
