A heavy, block-built sans with sharply chamfered corners and faceted cuts that replace most curves with planar angles. Strokes are consistently thick with mostly straight terminals, creating a crisp, mechanical silhouette and a pronounced, geometric rhythm. Counters tend to be squarish and tightened, and the overall construction reads as engineered and modular, with a slight octagonal flavor in rounded forms like O and 0. Lowercase follows the same angular logic and keeps a sturdy, compact texture in text.
Best used for headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where the angular facets can read clearly and add character. It also suits sports or team-style graphics, game/arcade themed layouts, and short UI labels that benefit from a hard-edged, engineered voice.
The faceted geometry and chunky massing convey an industrial, no-nonsense tone with a strong retro-tech flavor. It feels bold and confident—well suited to energetic, competitive, or utilitarian messaging where impact matters more than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a faceted, chamfered construction that stays legible while projecting a rugged, industrial personality. Its consistent planar cuts suggest a deliberate nod to engraved, stenciled, or machine-milled letterforms adapted for modern display typography.
In continuous text, the repeated chamfers create a distinctive sparkle and a slightly pixel-adjacent, arcade-like cadence without becoming strictly bitmap. The numerals and capitals appear especially sign-like and emblematic, maintaining clear silhouettes at display sizes.
