A heavy, geometric sans with aggressively chamfered corners and faceted, near-octagonal bowls in letters like O, D, and Q. Strokes are consistently thick and uniform, with minimal curvature replaced by straight segments and clipped terminals, giving the forms a machined, stencil-adjacent feel without true cutouts. Counters are squarish and compact, apertures tend to be tight, and joins are sturdy and rectangular, producing dense silhouettes that hold together as bold blocks. Uppercase and lowercase share the same angular construction, with simplified details and straight-sided verticals that emphasize firmness and structure.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, esports and sports branding, and logo wordmarks where its angular facets and dense weight can be appreciated. It also fits interface labels, packaging, and signage that benefit from an industrial, technical tone and strong figure-ground presence.
The faceted construction and blocky rhythm read as utilitarian and engineered, suggesting equipment labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, and competitive athletics. Its clipped geometry adds a tactical, hard-edged attitude that feels assertive and no-nonsense, leaning toward retro-digital and arcade signage rather than friendly or literary tones.
The font appears designed to translate rounded sans forms into a planar, chamfered system that feels manufactured and rugged. By standardizing corner cuts and reducing curves, it aims for a cohesive, high-impact look that reads quickly in bold display contexts and evokes technical or tactical visual language.
The design’s tight internal spaces and frequent chamfers create a distinctive sparkle at larger sizes, while at smaller sizes the compact counters can darken and reduce differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, reinforcing a consistent, system-like voice across alphanumerics.
