A heavy, block-constructed sans with strongly chamfered corners and planar cut-ins that replace curves with crisp facets. Strokes are monoline and squared-off, with rectangular counters and a generally compact, mechanical geometry. The forms maintain consistent angular logic across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a steady, hard-edged rhythm; widths vary by character, but the overall set reads sturdy and tightly engineered. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s angularity, keeping bowls and joints polygonal rather than rounded.
Best suited to short, high-contrast applications where the faceted geometry can read as a deliberate stylistic choice—headlines, posters, branding marks, product packaging, and apparel graphics. It also works well for bold labels, wayfinding-style callouts, and scoreboards or team identifiers where angular, hard-edged forms reinforce an industrial or athletic aesthetic.
The faceted construction gives a rugged, engineered tone that feels industrial and game-like, with a retro-tech flavor. Its strong silhouettes and sharp terminals suggest toughness and utility, evoking sports numbering, machinery labels, and arcade-era display lettering.
The design appears intended to translate a carved, cut-metal feel into a clean sans structure, prioritizing bold silhouette and consistent angular faceting over traditional curves. It aims for instant recognizability and a rugged, technical voice in display settings.
At text sizes the angular joins and squared counters remain prominent, producing a distinctive, high-impact texture with minimal softness. Numerals follow the same octagonal language, lending a cohesive, signage-ready look across alphanumeric systems.
