A heavy, block-built sans with sharp chamfers that replace most curves with planar facets. Strokes keep an even, low-contrast weight, while corners are clipped into consistent diagonal cuts that create an octagonal, machined silhouette. Proportions read broad and compact, with squared bowls and counters (notably in O, D, and 0) and a rhythm of straight stems, flat terminals, and notched joins. Lowercase follows the same faceted construction, with a single-storey a and g and tightly controlled interior spaces that stay open enough at display sizes.
Best suited for display typography where its angular facets and strong weight can define the voice—headlines, posters, wordmarks, team or event graphics, and bold packaging. It can work for short bursts of supporting text (labels, pull quotes, UI badges), but extended reading is better reserved for larger sizes and generous spacing.
The faceted, cut-metal construction gives a rugged, engineered tone—confident, assertive, and slightly futuristic. It suggests utilitarian signage and performance-oriented branding, with a retro arcade or sports-stencil flavor depending on color and setting.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a machined, faceted geometry that stays legible while projecting strength and modernity. The systematic corner cuts and squared counters aim for a distinctive, industrial feel without relying on ornament or curves.
The consistent chamfer language unifies the character set and helps maintain clarity in dense text, though the tight counters and heavy mass favor larger sizes. Numerals match the caps in width and presence, supporting strong, attention-grabbing numeric strings.
