A heavy, block-built display sans with crisp chamfered corners and planar facets that substitute for curves. Strokes are uniform and geometric, with squared terminals and frequent 45° cuts that create an octagonal silhouette across rounds and diagonals. Counters are small and rectangular, giving letters a dense, compact interior color; joins are tight and corners read as engineered rather than drawn. The overall rhythm is rigid and modular, with a strong baseline and a consistent, mechanical spacing feel in text.
Best used at display sizes where the faceted corners and compact counters can read clearly—headlines, posters, title cards, brand marks, and packaging. It also suits bold labels and signage-style applications, including sports and team graphics, tech or gaming visuals, and any layout that benefits from a rigid, industrial typographic voice.
The faceted geometry and slab-like massing convey an industrial, game-like tone that feels assertive and utilitarian. Its sharp cuts and compact counters suggest machinery, signage, and retro digital systems, creating a punchy, no-nonsense voice suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, faceted construction into a robust display alphabet that stays consistent across cases and numerals. By minimizing curves and emphasizing chamfers and rectangular counters, it aims for maximum impact and a distinctly mechanical, modular texture in both single words and short blocks of text.
Uppercase forms emphasize squared bowls and cut corners, while lowercase retains the same angular construction for a cohesive, systemized look. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, reading like stencil-cut blocks rather than traditional text figures, which reinforces the font’s hard-edged, engineered personality.
