A heavy, geometric sans with sharply chamfered corners that replace most curves with flat facets, producing an octagonal, engineered silhouette. Strokes stay largely even in thickness with squared terminals and shallow diagonal cuts at outer corners, giving counters a hard-edged, almost stencil-like geometry without actual breaks. Proportions are broad and stable, with compact apertures and tightly controlled interior shapes; round letters and numerals read as polygonal forms rather than true circles. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s construction, with straight-sided bowls and minimal modulation, keeping the overall rhythm rigid and consistent in both display lines and mixed-case text.
Best suited to display applications where its faceted geometry can read clearly: headlines, poster typography, wordmarks, esports or sports identities, packaging, and UI/overlay elements that want a technical edge. It can work for short bursts of text or labels, especially when ample size and spacing are available to preserve counter clarity.
The faceted construction and dense, blocklike weight suggest a technical, machine-made voice—confident, tough, and performance-oriented. It evokes contemporary sports branding, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling where an assertive, high-impact tone is desired.
The design appears intended to translate a bold sans structure into a planar, chamfered system that feels manufactured and modern. By standardizing corner cuts and keeping stroke weight steady, it aims for a rugged, high-impact look that remains consistent across letters and numerals.
Diagonal corner cuts become a defining motif across the set, creating a cohesive "machined" texture in words and a distinctive, angular footprint at large sizes. The enclosed counters and short, straight joins can make small sizes feel dense, while larger settings emphasize the crisp geometry and strong silhouettes.
