A heavy, sans-derived display face with faceted, beveled terminals that read as clipped corners rather than smooth curves. Curved letters (C, O, S, G) are built from subtly polygonal arcs, while straight stems remain sturdy and compact, producing a tight, blocky rhythm. Stroke modulation appears as localized thinning and thickening around joins and corners, creating a slightly carved, ink-trap-like behavior in places (notably in B, S, and some lowercase bowls). Counters are generally small and closed, and spacing feels robust and even, supporting dense settings without losing character.
Best suited to display applications where the faceted detail can be appreciated—headlines, posters, album/cover graphics, packaging, and bold signage. It also works well for compact wordmarks and badges that benefit from a strong silhouette and an industrial-retro texture.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, with a retro-machined feel that suggests stamped signage or carved lettering. The angular rounding and clipped corners add a playful toughness—friendly enough for headlines, but still forceful and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to merge a straightforward sans structure with chiseled, polygonal finishing, adding visual bite and a crafted look without relying on overt ornament. The consistent corner clipping and join shaping suggest a deliberate focus on impact, durability, and a distinctive edge-driven texture in large-scale typography.
Lowercase forms lean toward a sturdy, simplified construction with distinctive, chunky bowls and occasional wedge-like terminals, while numerals carry the same faceted geometry for a cohesive set. The texture in paragraph samples stays dark and energetic, with the corner cuts creating a consistent sparkle along edges at larger sizes.
