A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, with curves consistently replaced by angled facets. Stems are thick and uniform, terminals are flat, and counters tend toward squared or octagonal shapes, creating a crisp, machined silhouette. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with wide shoulders and simplified joins that keep letters clear at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same faceted construction, giving the set a cohesive, hard-edged rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, logos, team marks, posters, and bold packaging where the faceted geometry can read large and confidently. It also works well for signage and UI/overlay moments that want a rugged, technical voice rather than a neutral text tone.
The overall tone is tough and engineered, evoking sports branding, industrial signage, and sci‑fi interface lettering. Its sharp corners and blocky mass feel assertive and functional, with a slightly retro-digital character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a faceted, straight-edged construction that replaces conventional curves with crisp planar cuts. It prioritizes a unified industrial aesthetic and strong silhouette for display-driven typography.
Diagonal cuts appear consistently at outer corners and some inner corners, producing an octagonal motif across rounds like O/Q/0 and bowls like B/P/R. The lowercase follows the same angular logic, helping mixed-case settings retain a unified, constructed look.
