A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with chamfered facets and polygonal counters. Stems are thick and uniform with tight apertures, producing a compact, high-impact texture in text. Bowls and rounds (O, Q, 0, 8) resolve into octagonal shapes, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) feel mechanically cut and sharply terminated. Lowercase forms echo the same faceted construction with simplified joins and sturdy proportions, creating a consistent, engineered rhythm across cases and numerals.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, logos, and title treatments where the faceted construction can read clearly and contribute personality. It also fits gaming, tech/event graphics, and sports-style branding where a tough, mechanical silhouette helps establish tone.
The face reads as hard-edged and machine-made, with a bold, assertive tone that suggests technology, sci‑fi interfaces, and arcade or action-oriented styling. Its faceting gives it a rugged, armored feel—more commanding than friendly—suited to attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, faceted aesthetic into a sturdy all-purpose display sans, emphasizing straight-edge construction and consistent chamfers for a cohesive, instantly recognizable look. It prioritizes visual impact and a techno-industrial voice over softness or calligraphic nuance.
Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for punchy display setting, with distinctive polygonal counters that stay recognizable at larger sizes. The overall texture can become dense in longer lines, especially where tight apertures and heavy strokes cluster in words.
