A heavy, block-constructed sans with crisp chamfered corners and faceted, near-octagonal contours in place of curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with squared terminals, producing sturdy, monoline silhouettes and strong internal counters. The design uses straight segments and diagonal cuts to articulate bowls and joins, giving letters a mechanical, modular rhythm; round characters like O and C read as clipped polygons, while diagonals in V/W/X are steep and decisive. Lowercase follows the same geometric logic with simplified forms and tight apertures, maintaining a consistent, hard-edged texture across lines.
Best suited to display roles where impact and character matter: headlines, posters, team or event branding, and bold packaging or labels. It can also work for UI callouts, badges, and numeric-forward applications such as scoreboards or product specs when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and machine-like, evoking utilitarian signage, sports numbering, and arcade-era display aesthetics. Its faceted geometry reads as tough and technical, lending a confident, high-impact voice that feels modern-retro and slightly combative.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, engineered look into a bold display alphabet, replacing curves with planar facets for a rugged, technical feel. It prioritizes striking silhouettes and consistent modular construction over softness or text-oriented neutrality.
The condensed counters and angular notches create a dense, high-contrast texture at smaller sizes, while larger settings emphasize the distinctive planar facets. Numerals share the same clipped geometry, supporting a cohesive, scoreboard-like system for titles and data-heavy callouts.
