A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and sharp chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Letterforms lean on octagonal counters (notably in O/D/Q and numerals) and clipped terminals that create a hard-edged, engineered silhouette. Stems are uniform and sturdy with minimal modulation, and the wide set gives the alphabet a strong horizontal footprint. Spacing appears open and deliberate, with squared punctuation and a consistent, modular rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, game titles, UI headings, and branding where a sharp, technical voice is desired. It also works well for logos, packaging callouts, and signage-style labels, particularly when set large or with generous tracking to let the faceting read clearly.
The faceted geometry reads as futuristic and machine-made, with a distinctly industrial confidence. Its sharp cuts and wide stance evoke sci‑fi interfaces, motorsport decals, and hardware labeling—cool, technical, and forward-leaning in tone without becoming decorative script-like.
The design intent appears to be a modern, faceted sans that translates curved structures into crisp, planar cuts for a mechanized, forward-looking aesthetic. It prioritizes impact and a distinctive geometric texture, aiming for clear, repeatable shapes that feel at home in tech and sci‑fi contexts.
Distinctive details include single-storey forms in the lowercase and many diagonals handled as clipped corners rather than true curves. Counters tend to be rectangular-to-octagonal, contributing to high-impact texture in lines of text. The design stays consistent across letters and numerals, making it especially cohesive in all-caps and short bursts of copy.
