A heavy, compact sans with polygonal construction and consistent chamfered corners that replace curves with flat facets. Strokes are thick and uniform, with squared terminals and tight apertures that create dense, poster-like letterforms. The lowercase follows the same rigid geometry with minimal rounding, producing a sturdy texture and strong vertical rhythm. Numerals share the same cut-corner, slabby build, keeping the overall color dark and even across lines of text.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, product packaging, and bold signage where the faceted silhouette can read clearly. It can also work for branding systems that need a rugged, industrial voice, especially when set with generous spacing and ample size.
The faceted, cut-metal geometry reads assertive and hard-edged, evoking utilitarian signage and equipment markings. Its dense shapes and sharp angles give it a tough, competitive tone that feels at home in energetic, impact-driven settings.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a carved or cut aesthetic into a compact, highly legible display style. By standardizing chamfers and straight segments across the set, the font aims to deliver a strong, mechanical presence with a distinctive, angular identity.
The design’s repeated corner cuts and straight-sided bowls create a distinctive, machined silhouette that stays consistent from caps to lowercase and figures. Counters tend to be small and angular, emphasizing solidity over openness, which increases visual punch at larger sizes.
