A heavy, geometric sans built from flat planes and clipped corners, with most curves replaced by octagonal, chamfered geometry. Strokes are consistently thick and squared-off, creating dense silhouettes and compact internal counters (notably in B, 8, and 9). Terminals are blunt and perpendicular, and many joins form sharp notches and stepped cut-ins that emphasize a machined, constructed feel. The overall rhythm is wide and assertive, with straightforward, upright structure and minimal modulation beyond the facet cuts.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where its mass and faceted silhouettes can carry a message quickly. It also fits interface titles and on-screen graphics for games or tech-oriented themes, plus energetic sports or event branding that benefits from a tough, engineered aesthetic. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous spacing help preserve clarity.
The font reads as industrial and techno-forward, with a retro arcade/console undertone. Its sharp facets and tight counters give it an uncompromising, high-impact voice that feels mechanical, armored, and slightly aggressive. The overall tone suggests engineered signage and hard-edged display typography rather than everyday text.
The design intention appears to be a bold, high-visibility display face that translates rounded shapes into planar facets for a constructed, machine-cut look. By keeping geometry consistent across letters and numbers, it aims to deliver a cohesive, immediately recognizable style for impactful titles and branding.
Lowercase forms largely echo the uppercase’s blocky construction, maintaining the same chamfered corner language for strong visual consistency. The numeral set matches the same faceted geometry, with angular bowls and squared apertures that keep figures bold and attention-grabbing. In the sample text, the dense weight and tight internal spaces make it most comfortable at larger sizes where the cut-ins and counters remain clearly distinguishable.
