A heavy, monoline display face built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, giving many curves an octagonal, engineered feel. The forms are compact with squared bowls and counters, and terminals are consistently clipped rather than rounded. Capitals read blocky and architectural, while the lowercase keeps a functional, single-storey construction (notably for a and g) that matches the rigid geometry. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, with boxy 0/8 and a stepped, segmented look that keeps spacing and rhythm tight in headlines.
Best suited for display work where its angular construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, packaging, sports and team-style branding, and tech or game-interface graphics. It can also work for short labels or wayfinding-style signage, especially when you want an engineered, cut-metal impression.
The overall tone is mechanical and assertive, evoking industrial labeling, sports identifiers, and sci‑fi or arcade-era graphics. Its sharp corners and disciplined geometry feel purposeful and technical rather than conversational, projecting strength and efficiency.
The design appears intended to translate a rugged, machine-cut aesthetic into a cohesive alphabet, using consistent chamfers and squared counters to maintain a strong, modular rhythm across letters and figures.
Diagonal joins (as in K, V, W, X, Y) are clean and steep, reinforcing the hard-edged texture. The mix of squared counters and small interior notches creates a distinctive, slightly stencil-like flavor at larger sizes, where the corner cuts become a primary design motif.
