A heavy, angular display sans built from straight strokes and sharp planar cuts, replacing curves with chamfered corners and octagonal counters. The geometry is rigid and modular, with broad horizontals and verticals, abrupt terminals, and frequent notches that create a carved, stenciled-like texture without true breaks. Counters in letters like O and Q read as faceted polygons, and many joins form crisp wedges that emphasize a machined, engineered rhythm. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, producing a strong, attention-grabbing silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, esports or gaming graphics, and brand marks where the angular construction can be appreciated. It also works well for UI titles, product labels, and event signage that want a mechanical, futuristic edge, but is less appropriate for long-form reading.
The overall tone is technical and forceful, evoking machinery, armor plating, and digital-era sci‑fi signage. Its hard edges and cut-in details give it a combative, high-energy feel that reads as futuristic and industrial rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, engineered look by translating traditional sans structures into a faceted, polygonal system. The consistent chamfers, notches, and octagonal counters suggest a goal of creating a distinctive display face that feels machined and modern while remaining recognizably alphabetic.
At smaller sizes the internal cuts and tight apertures can visually fill in, while at larger sizes the faceting becomes a defining stylistic feature. The lowercase shares the same angular construction as the caps, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case settings, and the numerals maintain the same polygonal, engineered logic.
