A heavy, faceted sans with octagonal construction and clipped corners that replace curves with straight segments. Strokes are consistently thick with low contrast, and counters are mostly rectangular or chamfered, producing crisp internal angles and a machined look. Proportions are compact and squared-off, with a relatively tall x-height and short, sturdy ascenders/descenders in the lowercase. The overall rhythm is tight and uniform, with distinctly geometric joins and terminals that read like beveled cuts.
Best suited to display roles where its angular texture can read clearly: headlines, titles, branding marks, posters, and product or tech packaging. It also fits well for game UI labels, sci‑fi themed graphics, and short bursts of text where impact matters more than long-form readability.
The letterforms project a futuristic, utilitarian tone—like interface labeling, sci‑fi signage, or arcade-era display type. Its hard angles and cut-in counters feel engineered and disciplined, giving text a confident, high-impact voice with a distinctly digital edge.
The design appears aimed at translating a beveled, polygonal construction into a clean sans structure, prioritizing strong silhouette and consistent mechanical rhythm. It emphasizes a crafted, cut-metal aesthetic that stays systematic across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals for cohesive display typography.
At larger sizes the facet pattern becomes a defining texture, while at smaller sizes the tight apertures and angular counters can start to close up, especially in dense text. Numerals and capitals share the same chamfered geometry, reinforcing a cohesive, emblematic display character.
