A heavy, geometric display sans built from planar facets instead of curves. Forms are constructed from broad strokes with crisp, chamfered corners and frequent diagonal cuts, producing octagonal bowls and beveled terminals throughout. Counters are compact and often squared or octagonal, with a generally tight, modular rhythm; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sharp and emphatic, while rounded letters (O, C, G, Q) read as multi-sided shapes. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic with mostly single-storey forms, short apertures, and sturdy joins, maintaining strong visual consistency across letters and figures.
Best suited to large-scale applications where its faceted construction can be appreciated: posters, headlines, logos, product marks, team or esports identities, and packaging. It can also work for UI labels or badges when set with generous spacing, but it is primarily a display face rather than a long-reading text choice.
The sharp beveling and polygonal geometry give the font a machined, engineered tone that feels at home in sci-fi, gaming, and industrial contexts. Its dense weight and hard edges project strength and urgency, with a slightly “armored” or tactical flavor that reads as modern and assertive rather than friendly or literary.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a chiseled, polygonal aesthetic—replacing curves with beveled planes to create a robust, high-impact voice. The consistent facet logic across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals suggests an aim for a cohesive system optimized for punchy display settings.
At text sizes the small apertures and tight counters can make letters feel compact, while at larger sizes the facet pattern becomes a distinctive signature. Numerals and caps share the same angular construction, supporting cohesive headline systems and bold labeling.
