A heavy, block-constructed sans with strongly chamfered corners and an overall octagonal silhouette. Strokes are mostly straight and planar, with selective thinning at joins and small interior cuts that create a contrasted, engineered feel. Counters are tight and squared-off, apertures are narrow, and terminals are predominantly flat with clipped corners. The lowercase is large and sturdy, with simplified forms and minimal curvature, while figures follow the same faceted geometry for a consistent, sign-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its geometric facets and dense color can read as intentional styling. It works well for posters, sports and team marks, arcade/game interfaces, and packaging where an industrial, hard-edged display tone is desired.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian voice—part industrial labeling, part sports/arcade display—delivering a confident, high-impact tone. Its angular cuts and compact interiors add a slightly retro-futuristic, machine-made character that feels assertive rather than friendly.
The design appears intended to translate a chamfered, machine-cut aesthetic into a compact display sans, prioritizing impact and a distinctive octagonal silhouette over softness or long-form readability. Its consistent faceting across letters and numerals suggests a system built for bold titles and branding applications.
Rhythm is defined by repeated chamfers and rectangular negative spaces, producing a uniform, modular pattern across words. The design’s tight counters and sharp interior notches favor bold settings and can visually fill in at smaller sizes, while large sizes emphasize its faceted construction.
