A heavy, geometric sans with sharply chamfered corners that replace curves with flat facets, producing octagonal counters and clipped terminals throughout. Strokes are largely uniform, with squared joins and straight-sided bowls that keep forms compact and mechanical. The lowercase is built from the same modular geometry as the caps, yielding sturdy, rectangular silhouettes and a consistent, engineered rhythm. Figures follow the same faceted construction, with a notably angular 0 and squared, segmented shapes that read like cut metal or milled signage.
Best suited to short, bold applications where the faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos, labels, and packaging. It also fits scoreboards, team graphics, and UI moments that want a retro-tech or industrial signage feel, especially when set large with generous spacing.
The overall tone is utilitarian and high-impact, evoking industrial labeling, sports numerals, and arcade-era interface type. Its crisp facets and blocky massing feel assertive and functional rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The font appears designed to translate a simple grotesque skeleton into a consistently faceted, chamfered system, prioritizing punchy presence and a manufactured aesthetic. Its goal is likely to deliver a robust display voice that remains legible while projecting a technical, sporty edge.
The faceting creates distinctive interior shapes and a strong pixel-like texture at text sizes, while larger sizes emphasize the crafted, machined look of the chamfers. The design’s geometry favors straight diagonals and clipped corners, giving it a rugged, sign-paint-adjacent personality without ornamental detail.
