A compact, block-built sans with aggressively chamfered corners and faceted joins that replace curves with short straight segments. Strokes stay consistent in thickness, creating a sturdy, sign-like texture with squared counters and clipped terminals. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) read as octagonal forms, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are simplified into hard-angled wedges. The lowercase echoes the same geometric logic with mostly single-storey structures and minimal modulation, keeping the overall rhythm tight and uniform.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where its faceted geometry can carry the voice—headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, apparel graphics, packaging, and interface-style title treatments. It also performs well for numbering (scores, labels, product codes) thanks to its bold, compact forms.
The overall tone feels mechanical and purpose-driven, evoking industrial labeling, digital-era display lettering, and retro game interfaces. Its angular construction reads assertive and utilitarian, with a slightly rugged, armored character that suggests machinery, sci‑fi UI, or sports/utility branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, compact display voice built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, prioritizing a tough, technical silhouette over softness or calligraphic nuance. Its consistent angular system suggests it was drawn to be instantly recognizable at a distance and to maintain a cohesive, modular feel across letters and figures.
Distinctive faceting is consistent across the set, giving even small details—like the Q tail, the R leg, and the hooked descenders—a crisp, engineered feel. The numerals follow the same clipped geometry, supporting cohesive headline and numbering use.
