A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes with consistent thickness and conspicuous chamfered corners that replace most curves. Counters and bowls are largely rectangular or octagonal, giving letters like O/Q and numerals like 0/8 a faceted, machined feel. The drawing favors squared terminals, compact apertures, and horizontal joins that read as crisp cut-ins, creating a tight, engineered rhythm across text. Lowercase forms stay fairly simple and sturdy, with single-storey a and g and a short-tailed r, matching the uppercase’s hard-edged construction.
Best suited to display settings where its chamfered geometry can read clearly: headlines, posters, product marks, gaming titles, and interface/HUD-style graphics. It can also work for short subheads and labels in tech or industrial contexts, especially when generous tracking and line spacing are available.
The overall tone is technical and forceful, evoking industrial labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, and hardware aesthetics. Its sharp facets and dense presence communicate precision and toughness rather than warmth or softness, making it feel modern and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans skeleton into a faceted, machine-cut vocabulary—prioritizing sharp planar corners, sturdy silhouettes, and a consistent modular rhythm for a contemporary technical voice.
The angular construction introduces distinctive internal notches and cut corners that become prominent at larger sizes, while in smaller text they can visually tighten spacing and reduce openness. Round-derived shapes maintain a consistent faceted logic throughout, helping the design feel cohesive across letters and numerals.
