A heavy, faceted sans with planar, chamfer-like cuts that replace fully rounded curves. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with corners resolved into sharp angles and clipped terminals that create a slightly mechanical rhythm. Proportions are compact with sturdy verticals and broad, simplified counters; round letters (O, C, G, Q) read as polygonal forms rather than true circles. Numerals echo the same cut-corner geometry, producing a consistent, hard-edged texture across text.
Best suited to headlines, logos, labels, and signage where the faceted construction can be read clearly and used as a recognizable brand cue. It also fits product packaging and apparel graphics that benefit from a tough, engineered look; for extended body copy, it works most comfortably at moderate-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical, with a confident, utilitarian presence. The angled facets add a subtle retro-futurist flavor—more engineered than friendly—making the voice direct and slightly rugged.
The design appears intended to translate a straightforward grotesque skeleton into a more graphic, machined form by systematically beveling curves and terminals. The goal is a sturdy, contemporary display texture that remains simple to set while delivering a distinctive angular signature.
In longer text the repeated chamfers create a patterned sparkle, especially on curves and at joins where angled cuts accumulate. The design favors clarity through strong silhouettes, but its distinctive faceting becomes a primary stylistic feature, particularly at larger sizes.
