A heavy, monolinear display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Bowls and counters read as octagonal or chamfered shapes, with rectangular apertures and frequent diagonal cuts at terminals. Proportions are expansive with large internal spaces to maintain legibility at weight, and the lowercase keeps a high x-height with short ascenders/descenders. The overall rhythm is geometric and modular, with consistent corner treatment across letters and numerals and a distinctly constructed feel in diagonals and joins.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, product packaging, and environmental or wayfinding-style graphics. It also works well for tech-themed UI titling, gaming/film promo graphics, and any application that benefits from an angular, constructed display voice.
The faceted geometry gives the face a sci‑fi and engineered tone—confident, hard-edged, and intentionally synthetic. It evokes digital interfaces, machinery markings, and angular signage, projecting a no-nonsense, high-impact presence.
The letterforms appear designed to translate the language of beveled metal and polygonal forms into a readable sans, prioritizing strong silhouettes and consistent chamfer logic over traditional curves. The goal is a distinctive, contemporary display texture that feels fabricated and precise while staying sturdy and legible at large sizes.
The design relies on strong silhouette recognition through chamfered corners and squared counters, which helps separate similarly shaped forms at larger sizes. Diagonal cuts are used sparingly but decisively to articulate direction (notably in characters with implied curves), reinforcing the font’s “machined” personality.
