A heavy, geometric sans with planar, chamfered corners that replace curves with crisp facets. Letterforms are built from broad rectangular strokes and clipped diagonals, producing octagonal counters in rounds like O and Q and squared apertures throughout. The rhythm is compact and mechanical, with tight internal spacing and consistently straight terminals; diagonals in K, V, W, X, and Y are cut as hard wedges rather than smooth joins. Numerals echo the same faceted construction, staying monolinear and sturdy with strong, flat horizontals and short diagonal cuts at corners.
Best suited to display settings where its angular construction can read clearly: headlines, poster typography, game and esports identities, and interface-style graphics. It can also work for short branding lines and product marks that benefit from a hard-edged, technical voice, but is less suited to long-form text where the dense, faceted forms may feel heavy.
The faceted geometry gives the font a tough, engineered tone—evoking machinery, sci‑fi interfaces, and high-impact branding. Its sharp edges and dense mass read assertive and tactical, with a distinctly digital, constructed feel rather than a friendly or humanist voice.
The type appears designed to translate a geometric sans skeleton into a faceted, manufactured surface—prioritizing bold presence, sharp silhouettes, and a cohesive polygonal system across all glyphs. The consistent chamfers suggest an intention to feel futuristic and industrial while maintaining straightforward, upright readability.
The design emphasizes uniform stroke presence and clipped corners, which keeps silhouettes stable and legible at larger sizes while making fine details (like small notches and narrow counters) more prominent. Curved letters are intentionally polygonal, reinforcing a consistent “cut metal” aesthetic across caps, lowercase, and figures.
