A sharply angular sans with faceted, chamfered corners that replace curves with straight segments, giving many forms an octagonal silhouette. Strokes read as near-monoline with crisp terminals and consistent edge treatment across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Proportions skew narrow and vertical, with a compact, squared-off feel in round letters (O/C/G) and clear, open counters that hold up in display sizes. The lowercase keeps a clean, constructed rhythm with simplified joins and a single-storey a, while figures echo the same clipped geometry for a cohesive alphanumeric set.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short-to-medium display text where the faceted geometry can be appreciated. It fits well in tech and industrial branding, sports/athletic identities, packaging, and signage that benefits from crisp, constructed letterforms and a strong, modern texture.
The overall tone is hard-edged and mechanical, suggesting precision, engineered surfaces, and a utilitarian modernism. Its faceted construction conveys a slightly sci-fi or industrial attitude that feels bold and purposeful without relying on heavy weight.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, engineered aesthetic into a practical sans: consistent chamfers, simplified construction, and steady rhythm across cases and numerals. The goal seems to be a distinctive, high-impact voice that remains legible while foregrounding a sharp, planar visual identity.
Diagonal strokes are treated with the same planar logic as verticals and horizontals, producing consistent corner chamfers and a distinctly modular look. The typeface emphasizes straight-sided clarity over softness, creating a strong graphic presence and a recognizable texture in word shapes.
