A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp facets. Forms feel octagonal and modular, with uniform stroke thickness and squared counters where possible. Terminals are blunt and often chamfered, producing a hard-edged rhythm across the alphabet. The lowercase echoes the uppercase’s construction, keeping single-storey, simplified shapes and a compact, engineered texture in running text.
Best suited for bold headlines, logos, game titles, and interface elements where strong silhouettes and an engineered aesthetic are desired. It also works well for packaging, labeling, and short bursts of text that benefit from a compact, high-impact presence.
The overall tone is mechanical and forward-leaning, with a strong techno and arcade sensibility. Its faceted construction reads as “machined” and tactical, suggesting futuristic interfaces and industrial labeling rather than warmth or handwriting.
The design appears intended to translate a hard, polygonal construction into a readable sans, emphasizing decisive angles, consistent weight, and a modular system that stays uniform across letters and numbers. It prioritizes impact and a technical voice for display-driven typography.
Distinctive notches and angled joints create a consistent stencil-like geometry without actual breaks, helping letters stay recognizable at display sizes. Numerals match the same faceted logic, giving data-heavy settings a cohesive, instrument-panel feel.
