A compact, geometric sans built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with curves replaced by clipped, faceted planes. Forms lean toward octagonal constructions: bowls and counters are squarish with chamfered corners, and joins are clean and mechanical. Stroke weight stays even throughout, producing a solid, high-contrast-on-background silhouette with tight internal apertures in letters like E, S, and 8. Terminals are consistently cut flat or on short diagonals, giving the design a uniform, modular rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where its angular silhouettes can carry personality: headlines, posters, packaging callouts, team or sports branding, and tech or gaming interface labels. It also works for punchy titling in editorial or motion graphics, especially at larger sizes where the faceting reads clearly.
The overall tone is assertive and technical, evoking engineered signage, digital interfaces, and arcade-era display lettering. The sharp facets and compact counters create a tough, no-nonsense voice that reads as modern, utilitarian, and slightly retro-futurist.
The design appears intended to translate a faceted, machine-cut aesthetic into a sturdy display sans, prioritizing strong silhouettes, consistent geometry, and an engineered rhythm across the character set.
Capitals dominate visually with broad, squared proportions, while the lowercase follows the same faceted logic, keeping the family feeling cohesive in mixed-case text. Distinctive details include the cut-in spur on G, the angular tail on Q, and numerals that echo the same chamfered geometry for a consistent alphanumeric texture.
