A compact, faceted sans with strokes built from straight segments and consistent chamfered corners, giving most curves an octagonal, planar feel. The weight is heavy and largely monolinear, with squared terminals and frequent beveled joins that create a cut-metal rhythm across the alphabet. Uppercase forms are sturdy and geometric, while lowercase maintains the same angular construction with simplified bowls and short, blocky arms; the overall texture is dense with tight internal counters (notably in a, e, s). Numerals follow the same hard-edged logic, producing crisp, sign-like silhouettes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and signage where its angular voice reads as intentional. It can work for UI labels or display copy when sizes are generous, but is less comfortable for long-form text due to its dense color and tight counters.
The faceted construction and blunt geometry suggest a mechanical, industrial tone with strong retro-digital associations. Its carved, polygonal curves feel like labeling on equipment or an arcade-era display—confident, rugged, and slightly game-like rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a sharp, faceted vocabulary, replacing curves with planar cuts to evoke engineered surfaces and durable labeling. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a cohesive angular motif that remains consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Diagonal facets are used consistently to approximate curves, creating a distinctive sparkle at corners and a slightly pixel-adjacent impression without being strictly grid-based. In text, the tight apertures and heavy mass increase presence but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, especially where counters are small and joins cluster.
