A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Counters are mostly rectangular and generous, with a consistent stroke weight and squared terminals; many joins are chamfered to create an octagonal silhouette. The uppercase set is compact and sturdy, while the lowercase keeps a simple, modular construction with single-storey forms and minimal calligraphic influence. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, reading like engineered signage with hard edges and clear internal space.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and short UI or in-game elements where a bold, technical voice is desired. It also fits sports and team-style branding, event graphics, and wayfinding-like applications that benefit from hard-edged, high-impact letterforms.
The overall tone is mechanical and utilitarian, with an assertive, engineered feel. Its faceting evokes digital hardware, sports markings, and industrial labeling, giving text a tough, no-nonsense presence. The wide, blocky shapes project confidence and a slightly retro-futuristic edge.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, machined aesthetic—prioritizing durability, consistency, and a distinctive octagonal silhouette. It aims for immediate impact and clear recognition, using corner cuts as a unifying motif across letters and numerals.
The rhythm is strongly modular, with repeated corner cuts and rectangular apertures creating a consistent texture across lines. At larger sizes the facets become a defining stylistic cue, while at smaller sizes the dense weight and squared interiors can make paragraphs feel more forceful than neutral.
