A heavy, geometric sans with faceted construction: curves are consistently replaced by straight segments and chamfered corners, producing an octagonal rhythm in bowls and counters (notably in O, Q, C, G, and 0). Strokes are monolinear with blunt terminals, a broad footprint, and generous, even interior space that keeps forms open despite the weight. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and compact, while the lowercase stays straightforward and utilitarian, with simple single-storey forms and minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same planar logic, with angular joints and flattened arcs for strong visual consistency across the set.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where the faceted silhouettes can do the talking. It can also work for short UI labels, signage, and scoreboards where bold, angular letterforms improve quick recognition, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The faceted geometry reads as technical and engineered, with an industrial confidence that can feel sporty and arcade-like at larger sizes. Its blunt angles and uniform stroke presence give it a rugged, constructed tone rather than a neutral corporate voice.
The design appears intended to translate a modern geometric sans into a planar, chamfered system that stays consistent across letters and numbers. By swapping curves for facets while keeping counters open and strokes even, it aims for a distinctive, high-impact voice that remains legible in bold display settings.
The consistent corner chamfers create a distinctive silhouette and a crisp, machined texture in headlines. In dense text, the repeated angles become a strong pattern, so it benefits from comfortable tracking and clear hierarchy when used for longer passages.
