A heavy, geometric sans with a distinctly faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by straight segments and clipped corners, producing a chiseled, planar look. Strokes stay broadly even, with blunt terminals and squared counters that keep letterforms compact and solid. Proportions are tall and tight, with simplified shapes (notably in rounds like O/C/G and digits) that read as engineered and utilitarian. The overall rhythm is rigid and regular, favoring straight-sided verticals and flattened bowls over smooth modulation.
Best suited to display settings where strong geometry and high impact are desired, such as posters, headlines, product branding, packaging, and industrial or wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short technical labels or UI elements when a retro-mechanical voice is appropriate, but the faceted construction is most effective at medium to large sizes.
The font communicates a mechanical, no-nonsense tone—somewhere between industrial labeling and retro-tech display. Its angular cuts and compressed solidity give it a rugged, fabricated feel, evoking stamped metal, machinery panels, and early computer or arcade aesthetics.
The design intent appears to be a robust, industrial display sans that substitutes curves with planar facets for a manufactured, machine-cut character. By standardizing angles and keeping stroke behavior steady, it aims for consistent visual texture and a distinctive, engineered identity across letters and numbers.
Many glyphs show deliberate corner clipping and flattened curves, creating consistent facet angles across the set. The lowercase retains a similarly constructed, sturdy silhouette, while the numerals are wide and emphatic with squared internal spaces, helping maintain a strong, poster-like presence in text lines.
