A heavy, block-built display sans with sharply cut corners and consistent planar chamfers that replace most curves. Strokes terminate in straight, faceted edges, producing octagonal silhouettes and squared counters throughout. Proportions run broad and compact, with a large x-height and short extenders; internal apertures are small but cleanly carved, and spacing feels sturdy and even. The overall rhythm is rigid and geometric, with a deliberately modular, pixel-adjacent feel despite smooth outlines.
Best suited to display applications where impact and texture matter: headlines, posters, logotypes, team or event branding, packaging, and bold interface labels. It also works well for short emphatic copy, badges, and titling where the faceted corners can be appreciated.
The faceted geometry gives the type a rugged, engineered tone—part arcade-era boldness, part industrial labeling. It reads as confident and assertive, with a distinctly retro-tech flavor that suggests machinery, sports markings, or game UI aesthetics.
The design appears intended to translate a robust geometric skeleton into a distinctive, chiseled voice by systematically cutting corners and tightening counters. The result is a high-impact display style that prioritizes presence and a mechanical, retro-technical character over neutral text readability.
At larger sizes the angular detailing becomes a defining texture, while at smaller sizes the tight counters and dense massing can make long passages feel heavy. Numerals and capitals share the same chiseled logic, creating a cohesive, badge-like presence in headlines and short strings.
