A heavy, geometric display face built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Counters and bowls tend toward octagonal forms, and terminals are squared with frequent diagonal chamfers, giving letters a cut-metal silhouette. The strokes keep a consistent thickness, while letterforms vary in footprint and internal spacing to maintain legibility in the angular construction. Overall rhythm is compact and sturdy, with tight joints and prominent hard angles that read cleanly at larger sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, titles, and branding where a bold, angular voice is desired. It works well for esports and sports identities, tech and industrial packaging, event graphics, and game or sci-fi themed UI elements. Use at moderate-to-large sizes to let the faceting and counters stay clear.
The sharp, faceted construction conveys a mechanical, high-impact tone with a distinctly game-like and techno edge. Its hard corners and dense presence feel assertive and energetic, suggesting engineered surfaces, signage, and competitive branding rather than polite text typography.
The design appears intended to translate a modern sans skeleton into a sharply chamfered, polygonal system that feels industrial and digital. It prioritizes immediate impact and a consistent faceted motif across letters and numerals for strong display recognition.
Round characters like O, Q, and 0 are rendered as multi-sided shapes with similarly faceted counters, reinforcing the system-wide geometry. Diagonal cuts are used consistently to articulate corners and transitions, creating a cohesive ‘machined’ texture across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with open, blocky forms suited to bold display settings.
