A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with sharp planar facets. Counters are mostly rectangular or angular, with occasional triangular notches that add a cut-metal feel. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing crisp silhouettes and strong, poster-like color. Uppercase forms read as compact, squared blocks, while lowercase keeps a similarly rigid construction with simplified bowls and terminals; round letters (like o, c, e) become polygonal, and diagonals (v, w, x, y, z) are steep and blade-like. Figures follow the same chiseled logic, with squared apertures and angular cuts for a cohesive alphanumeric set.
Best suited for display typography where bold, angular forms can dominate: headlines, posters, esports and athletic branding, album/film titles, packaging, and game/interface moments that need a rugged, futuristic punch. It will be most effective at medium to large sizes where the faceted corners and internal cuts remain clearly legible.
The overall tone is tough and mechanical, suggesting stamped steel, sci‑fi interfaces, and high-impact sports branding. The faceting and notched joins create an assertive, game-like energy that feels engineered rather than handwritten or classic. It projects speed, strength, and a slightly retro-digital attitude.
Likely designed to translate a chiseled, polygonal construction into a cohesive sans alphabet, emphasizing sharp terminals and clipped corners for a hard-edged, engineered look. The consistent faceting across letters and numerals suggests an intention to feel modular and industrial while staying readable in bold display settings.
The design relies on hard corners and shallow chamfers, giving consistent edge rhythm across the set. Several glyphs incorporate purposeful cutouts/notches that increase visual texture at display sizes while making the forms feel more technical and modular. The strong, dense shapes favor short headlines over extended reading.
