A faceted, angular sans with strokes built from straight segments and clipped corners instead of smooth curves. Counters are tight and geometric, with many bowls and joints forming pentagonal or hexagonal silhouettes that read like cut metal. The texture is dense and forceful, with compact apertures and a slightly irregular rhythm between characters; some forms introduce intentional notches and chamfered terminals that enhance the constructed look. Uppercase feels relatively narrow and tall, while lowercase stays sturdy and simplified, maintaining the same planar, hard-edged logic across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as headlines, title treatments, logos, badges, and packaging where a sharp, industrial feel is desired. It also works well for game or tech interface styling, event graphics, and merchandise designs that benefit from a hard-edged, constructed texture.
The overall tone is rugged and mechanical, suggesting engineered surfaces, hazard signage, or sci‑fi interfaces. Its sharp facets and heavy presence create an assertive, high-impact voice that feels at home in energetic, competitive, or action-oriented settings.
Likely designed to translate a carved, machined, or cut-from-plate aesthetic into a clean typographic system. The repeated chamfers and planar joints prioritize a distinctive silhouette and strong display presence over neutral readability.
Legibility is strongest at display sizes where the internal cuts and small counters can breathe; in smaller text the compact apertures and angular detailing may darken the color and reduce clarity. Numerals and capitals carry the most distinctive personality, with consistent chamfering that helps unify the set.
