A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar facets throughout. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, with an octagonal feel in round letters like O and Q, and consistent corner clipping that creates a machined, stencil-like rhythm without actual breaks. Proportions are broad and stable with sturdy verticals; diagonals are used sparingly and read as cut, angular joins rather than smooth transitions. The lowercase follows the same faceted construction, with simplified bowls and a utilitarian, squared-off ductus that keeps texture dense and punchy in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and identity work where strong, angular letterforms can carry the design. It also fits sports branding, esports and arcade aesthetics, UI titles, and short on-screen labels where a bold, technical look is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and engineered, evoking signage, equipment labeling, and game-interface typography. Its sharp facets and compact counters give it a tactical, futuristic edge while still feeling familiar and readable at display sizes.
The design appears intended to translate a robust sans-serif skeleton into a faceted, machined geometry that reads as modern and utilitarian. By trading curves for chamfers and keeping counters tight, it aims for maximum impact and a distinctive, equipment-grade presence in display typography.
The faceting is applied consistently across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive modular system. Characters with traditionally round forms (C, G, S, 0) retain clear silhouettes through angled cut-ins and corner clipping, emphasizing a hard-edged, mechanical personality.
