A faceted sans with sharply chamfered corners and planar cuts that replace most curves with angled segments. Strokes are generally uniform with a crisp, stenciled-like edge quality created by consistent bevels at terminals and joints. Uppercase forms skew squarish and octagonal (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase remains compact and sturdy with simplified bowls and straight-sided counters. Numerals echo the same octagonal construction, producing a cohesive, sign-like rhythm across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and short passages where the faceted construction can be appreciated. It works well for signage, labels, packaging, and sports/tech-themed graphics that benefit from an angular, industrial voice. For longer reading, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the clipped details remain clear.
The overall tone is mechanical and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its angular geometry suggests engineered precision and evokes sporty or equipment-driven contexts. The faceting adds a subtle retro-tech flavor without becoming ornamental.
The font appears designed to translate geometric, machined faceting into a straightforward sans structure, prioritizing a consistent angular motif across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Its construction emphasizes bold silhouettes and uniform corner logic to deliver a distinctive, engineered look in contemporary display typography.
The design relies on repeated corner cuts to unify the set, creating a distinctive texture in text where diagonals and clipped terminals form a steady zig-zag cadence. Round letters read as polygonal, and the face maintains a strong silhouette at display sizes where the facets are most apparent.
