A tightly proportioned, straight‑sided sans with octagonal construction and chamfered corners that replace curves with flat facets. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, producing strong, uniform color in text, while counters are squared and compact. Letterforms rely on vertical stems and crisp diagonal cuts for terminals and joins, creating a modular rhythm that stays legible despite the condensed footprint and reduced interior space.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, and packaging where its angular construction can be appreciated. It also fits UI/title treatments for games, tech products, and industrial or athletic identities that benefit from a compact, forceful presence.
The overall tone feels mechanical and utilitarian, with a hard-edged, engineered voice. Its faceted geometry evokes digital displays, industrial stenciling, and retro arcade or sci‑fi interfaces—confident, assertive, and purpose-built.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-contrast visual punch using planar facets instead of curves, prioritizing a tough, engineered look and consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Round characters (like O/C/G and 0) read as polygonal loops with clipped corners, giving the font a distinctive “machined” silhouette. The numerals share the same faceted logic and hold up well at display sizes where the cornering and cut-ins become a defining texture.
