A geometric, angular sans with chamfered corners and faceted substitutes for curves, producing octagonal counters and crisp, planar joints. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with squared terminals and consistent corner-cut logic across rounds like O/Q and bowls like B/P/R. Proportions feel compact and sturdy, with a high x-height in the lowercase and simplified, straight-sided forms that emphasize horizontal and vertical structure over smooth curvature. Spacing and rhythm read steady and mechanical, with distinctive notches and cut-ins creating a grid-like, engineered texture in text.
Best suited to display typography where the faceted geometry can read clearly—headlines, posters, packaging, logos, esports and sportswear graphics, and UI elements for games or tech products. It also works for labels, wayfinding accents, and short bursts of text where a strong, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone is synthetic and machine-made, evoking digital interfaces, sci‑fi labeling, and classic arcade or sports-number styling. Its faceted geometry gives it a tough, utilitarian attitude that feels purposeful rather than decorative, with a distinctly retro-futurist edge.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a hard-edged, planar system, replacing curves with consistent chamfers to create a rugged, techno-forward look. The emphasis is on impact, clarity, and a unified angular language across letters and numerals.
Uppercase and lowercase are closely related in construction, sharing the same chamfer system and squared apertures, which keeps mixed-case setting cohesive. Numerals are similarly blocky and sign-like, designed for quick recognition at display sizes, with the facet treatment providing character without relying on curves.
