A heavy, block-built display sans with octagonal, faceted contours that replace curves with crisp chamfers. Strokes are consistently thick and the counters tend toward narrow vertical slots, giving letters a dense, high-impact silhouette. Terminals are blunt and angular, with frequent clipped corners and stepped joins that create a machined, planar feel. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with a tall x-height, and the figures mirror the same squared-off geometry for a cohesive, sign-like rhythm.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as headlines, posters, title cards, logos, and bold packaging panels where the faceted shapes can read clearly. It also fits wayfinding, labels, and signage-style graphics when a rugged, industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian—more engineered than expressive—evoking industrial labeling, military stenciling, and arcade or action-title aesthetics. Its sharp facets and compact internal spaces project urgency and strength rather than softness or refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a compact, blocky silhouette and a distinctive faceted construction that suggests cut metal or stamped lettering. It prioritizes graphic presence and a mechanical, utilitarian flavor over delicate detail or long-form readability.
Round forms (like O/C/G and 0) read as polygonal frames, and diagonals are simplified into short angled segments, reinforcing the faceted construction. At smaller sizes the tight counters and dense weight can close in, while at larger sizes the cut corners and planar shaping become the main visual character.
