A heavy, hard-edged sans with planar facets that substitute for smooth curves, producing octagonal rounds and chamfered corners throughout. Strokes are mostly uniform with clean, straight terminals and a crisp, cut-metal silhouette; counters stay fairly open despite the weight. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with squared shoulders on many forms and consistent notching where curves would normally resolve, giving the alphabet a rhythmic, engineered texture. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, maintaining a cohesive, monoline-like presence and strong baseline stance.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and display settings where its angular construction can be appreciated. It also fits branding and logo work that benefits from an engineered, technical feel, and can work for signage or labels that need a bold, high-contrast silhouette against varied backgrounds.
The overall tone feels industrial and mechanical, with a sharp, manufactured character that reads as technical and no-nonsense. Its faceted geometry adds a retro signage flavor—like stenciled plating or machined lettering—while the weight keeps the voice confident and attention-forward.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, machined aesthetic, replacing curves with deliberate planes to create a distinctive, industrial voice. The consistent chamfer language across uppercase, lowercase, and figures suggests a focus on cohesive display typography with a strong, graphic footprint.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds (O/C/G/Q and related lowercase), creating a recognizable octagonal motif that becomes a key identifying feature. In text, the heavy color and crisp corners create strong impact, while the slightly condensed feel and tight internal shapes suggest best performance at larger sizes or with generous tracking.
