A geometric sans with faceted, chamfered corners that replace curves with straight segments, creating an octagonal construction across bowls and terminals. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with crisp right angles, clipped joins, and rectangular counters that keep forms open despite the dense weight. Proportions lean compact with squared shoulders and consistent vertical stress; lowercase forms echo the uppercase with the same hard-edged rhythm, and figures follow the same blocky, engineered geometry for a cohesive set.
This font performs best in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, and logo wordmarks where its angular silhouettes can read as a deliberate style choice. It also suits interface labels, packaging callouts, and title cards that benefit from a technical, industrial flavor.
The overall tone feels engineered and utilitarian—confident, sturdy, and slightly retro-digital. Its sharp facets and block construction suggest machinery, signage, and game-like interfaces, giving it an assertive, no-nonsense voice with a technical edge.
The design appears intended to translate a sturdy sans skeleton into a faceted, planar language that feels manufactured rather than drawn. By standardizing chamfers and squaring counters, it aims for consistent, high-contrast silhouettes that project strength and precision in display-oriented typography.
The faceting is applied consistently to corners and curves, producing strong silhouette recognition at display sizes. The squared apertures and straight-sided bowls emphasize a modular, constructed feel, while the compact spacing in text reinforces a solid, punchy texture.
