A heavy, geometric sans with crisp, faceted construction in place of curves. Strokes are built from straight segments and chamfered corners, producing polygonal counters (notably in O/o and numerals) and a consistent, machine-cut silhouette. The design is largely monolinear with dense, compact interior spaces and small apertures in letters like e and s, while diagonals in A, V, W, X, Y are steep and sharply terminated. Overall spacing reads sturdy and tight, favoring solid texture and strong edge definition over open readability.
Best suited for short, bold settings such as headlines, poster typography, wordmarks, and impactful branding where the faceted geometry can read clearly. It also fits UI/title treatments for games, sci‑fi or industrial themes, and packaging or labels that benefit from a rugged, machined voice.
The tone is mechanical and high-impact, with a techno/industrial feel that suggests hardware, robotics, and angular architecture. Its sharp facets and compact counters add an assertive, slightly militaristic energy, while the polygonal forms nod to retro arcade and sci-fi display aesthetics.
The design appears intended as a display face that translates mechanical, faceted geometry into a cohesive alphabet, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a consistent angular motif. By replacing curves with planar cuts and keeping stroke contrast minimal, it aims for a robust, engineered look that remains consistent across letters and numerals.
The face relies on distinctive polygonal bowls and counters and frequent corner cuts, giving repeated visual motifs across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. Many glyphs present horizontal shears and angled joins that create a dynamic, engineered rhythm, especially in S/s and Z/z. The design’s dense black areas and tight internal spaces will emphasize shape at larger sizes more than fine detail at small sizes.
