A blocky, geometric sans with octagonal construction and consistent chamfered corners that replace curves with planar facets. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with squared terminals and tight internal counters that create a compact, sturdy texture. The forms rely on straight verticals and horizontals plus clipped diagonals, producing crisp joints and an engineered rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Spacing reads slightly tight, and the overall silhouette feels condensed by the angular cut-ins even when widths vary by character.
Best suited to display roles where angular presence and high visual impact are desired, such as headlines, posters, branding marks, labels, and wayfinding or environmental graphics. It also fits sports and team-inspired applications, product packaging, and UI moments that call for an assertive, technical voice. In longer text, it performs best at larger sizes with generous leading to keep counters from closing in.
The font projects a rugged, utilitarian energy with a sporty, industrial edge. Its faceted geometry suggests machinery, signage, and built surfaces, while the uniform weight and sharp corners convey confidence and urgency. The tone leans retro-tech, recalling stenciled or scoreboard-like letterforms without overt ornament.
The design appears intended to translate a faceted, machined geometry into a coherent alphabet, prioritizing strong silhouettes and repeatable corner logic for immediate recognition. It aims to feel engineered and durable, offering a distinctive angular alternative to rounded geometric sans forms.
Uppercase and numerals are especially architectural, with repeated chamfer angles creating strong stylistic cohesion. Lowercase maintains the same faceted logic, yielding distinctive shapes and a slightly mechanical flow in text. The heavy mass and tight apertures favor short, high-impact settings over delicate typographic nuance.
