A hard-edged, faceted sans with polygonal construction and frequent chamfered corners replacing curves. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with squared terminals and occasional angled cuts that create a chiseled silhouette. Counters tend toward octagonal or clipped forms, and bowls and diagonals show deliberate planar breaks rather than smooth transitions. Spacing reads slightly tight in places, contributing to a compact, forceful rhythm, while the overall proportions stay broad and stable in text.
Best suited to display applications where its faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and attention-grabbing titles. It can work for short bursts of text in interfaces or labels when a rugged, geometric tone is desired, but its strong texture is most effective at larger sizes.
The letterforms convey a tough, mechanical attitude—confident and impact-driven with a distinctly geometric, engineered feel. Its sharp facets and cut corners suggest modern industrial signage and action-oriented branding rather than soft, conversational typography.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, cut-plane aesthetics into a practical sans for impactful display typography. By replacing curves with consistent facets and maintaining hefty, even stroke weight, it aims for high visual presence and a distinctive, industrial edge.
Distinctive angular joins and clipped apertures give the face a recognizable texture at display sizes, especially in rounded letters and numerals where the faceting becomes most apparent. The figures and capitals carry a consistent, emblem-like solidity, helping short words and headlines feel stamped or machined.
