A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers and planar facets. Counters are mostly rectangular or octagonal, with consistent stroke thickness and squared terminals that create a sturdy, modular texture. The lowercase follows the same hard-edged logic, with compact bowls and sharp joins; numerals are similarly constructed with cut-in corners and wide, stable forms. Overall spacing and proportions favor bold, high-contrast silhouettes and clear edge definition over smooth curvature.
Best suited to display applications where its angular silhouette can be appreciated: headlines, branding marks, sports or tech packaging, event posters, and game or interface titling. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but the dense, blocky forms are less comfortable for long reading at small sizes.
The faceted construction and hard corners convey a technical, engineered tone with a sporty, utilitarian edge. It reads as assertive and synthetic, suggesting machinery, sci‑fi interfaces, and arcade-era graphics more than editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, futuristic-leaning display voice by translating a sans structure into a faceted, bevelled geometry. Its consistent chamfer system and rectangular counters prioritize impact, repeatable shapes, and a crisp, constructed aesthetic.
Diagonal facets recur at outer corners and at interior joins, giving letters a consistent “machined” look. Shapes like O/0 and C/G emphasize beveled geometry, while forms with diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) keep a crisp, angular rhythm that remains legible at display sizes.
