A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes with sharp chamfers that replace most curves. Corners are cut into consistent facets, creating octagonal counters in letters like O and D and a squared, engineered rhythm across the set. Proportions are expansive with broad caps and a tall, sturdy lowercase, while apertures and terminals stay crisp and planar. The overall spacing and silhouettes favor impact and clarity, with distinctive cut-ins on forms such as S, Z, and 2 that reinforce the modular, machined construction.
Best suited to display sizes where the chamfered details and wide silhouettes can be appreciated—headlines, posters, title cards, and bold wordmarks. It also fits UI theming for games or tech products, plus branding systems that want an engineered, futuristic voice. For long-form text, its strong personality and wide set are more effective in short bursts or labeling than in continuous reading.
The faceted geometry gives a high-tech, sci-fi tone with hints of arcade and industrial labeling. Its crisp cuts and wide stance read as assertive and tool-like, suggesting machinery, interfaces, and synthetic environments rather than handwriting or classic print traditions.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, planar system that feels machined and contemporary. By substituting curves with consistent chamfers and keeping forms broad and stable, it aims to deliver a distinctive, high-impact look while maintaining straightforward letter construction.
Diagonal joins are used sparingly and strategically (notably in K, M, N, V/W, X/Y), while most bowls and rounds are resolved via bevels. Numerals follow the same chamfered logic, producing a cohesive set that feels designed for display environments where shape recognition matters.
