A heavy, square-built sans with crisp planar facets replacing curves throughout. Strokes maintain a consistent, robust thickness, while corners are chamfered into octagonal cuts that create a rhythmic, geometric texture. Counters are compact and often polygonal (notably in O/0 and B), with broad, flat terminals and minimal modulation. Proportions lean expansive and stable, and the overall construction reads deliberately engineered, with clear separation between stems and bowls in a tightly controlled, grid-friendly structure.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, wordmarks, labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It also works well for UI/game titles and display applications where a geometric, industrial voice and strong silhouette are more important than long-form readability.
The faceted geometry and dense, blocky color give the face a utilitarian, machine-made tone. It suggests signage and hardware—confident, impact-first communication with a retro-digital edge reminiscent of arcade or industrial labeling aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a modular, faceted construction that stays consistent across the set. By swapping curves for angled cuts and keeping forms broadly proportioned, it aims for a technical, rugged personality that remains highly legible at display sizes.
The chamfer language is applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping text maintain a uniform “cut metal” silhouette. Lowercase forms echo the uppercase logic, favoring simplified, architectural shapes over handwritten cues, which keeps the texture steady in continuous reading but prioritizes graphic presence over softness.
