This typeface is built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp facets that create an octagonal, machined silhouette. Stems are thick and uniform with minimal modulation, and terminals end in consistent beveled cuts that give the forms a carved, stencil-adjacent feel without true breaks. Counters are compact and often squarish, and the overall rhythm is tight, with tall capitals and compact lowercase that read as structured and engineered. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with squared-off bowls and sharp joints that keep the set visually cohesive.
Best suited to display sizes where the faceted detailing can be appreciated—titles, poster typography, brand marks, and bold labels. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when a hard-edged, engineered tone is desired, but longer passages may benefit from generous size and spacing.
The faceted construction and hard terminals convey a rugged, utilitarian attitude with a distinctly retro-tech flavor. It feels energetic and assertive—more like industrial signage or arcade-era display lettering than neutral text typography.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, beveled letter construction into a compact display sans, emphasizing sharp planar cuts and consistent stroke weight for a strong, manufactured presence.
The distinctive corner clipping is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing strong patterning in headlines. Diacritics and punctuation are not shown; the visible ampersand follows the same angular, geometric treatment.
