A sharply faceted display sans with octagonal, cut-corner construction that replaces curves with short planar segments. Strokes are heavy and even, with crisp joins and a consistent chamfered rhythm across bowls and terminals. Proportions are fairly compact with squared counters and a slightly modular, stencil-adjacent feel in places, while maintaining clear uppercase/lowercase differentiation and sturdy numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where the faceted construction can be appreciated—posters, logotypes, game titles/UI labels, and tech-leaning packaging. It can also work for signage-style phrases or branding marks that want a hard-edged, machined voice.
The overall tone feels industrial and engineered, evoking machinery, sci‑fi interfaces, and hard-surface geometry. Its crisp facets and weight give it an armored, assertive presence that reads as modern with a retro arcade/terminal edge.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, cut-metal aesthetic into a readable sans by standardizing chamfer angles and maintaining uniform stroke weight. It prioritizes a distinctive, constructed silhouette over neutral text comfort, aiming for a bold, graphic identity.
The faceting creates strong texture in lines of text, especially where repeated diagonals and clipped corners form a patterned cadence. Larger sizes emphasize the distinctive polygonal counters and cut terminals; at smaller sizes the busy joins can visually thicken into a dense, graphic band.
