A heavy, geometric sans with chamfered corners and crisp planar cuts that substitute for smooth curves. Counters are typically squarish or rounded-rectangle in feel, with consistent stroke weight and a sturdy, compact build. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, and many joins show angled notches or clipped diagonals (notably in letters like K, W, and X), creating a disciplined, engineered rhythm. Numerals echo the same squared geometry, with the 0 drawn as a rounded rectangle and the set keeping a stable, blocky texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, branding marks, packaging, and signage where bold geometry and sharp facets can carry the visual identity. It also works well for tech-leaning UI labels, game titles, and sports or equipment graphics that benefit from an engineered, no-nonsense voice.
The face projects a machine-made, high-tech tone—clean, assertive, and slightly retro-digital. Its faceted detailing adds an industrial edge that feels suited to hardware, interfaces, and engineered products rather than warm or literary settings.
Designed to deliver a robust geometric sans with a distinctive faceted construction, combining straightforward readability with a signature angular cut that differentiates it from standard rounded-square grotesks.
The distinctive chamfers are applied consistently across the alphabet, giving headings a recognizable silhouette and a tightly controlled texture. In longer lines the angular detailing remains legible, but the strong geometry is most striking at display sizes where the facets read clearly.
