A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers and short diagonals. Counters tend toward squarish or octagonal forms, and terminals are consistently flat, giving letters a rigid, engineered rhythm. The proportions read compact and sturdy, with broad shoulders and blunt joins; diagonals (as in A, V, W, X, Y) are clean and angular rather than calligraphic. Figures follow the same faceted logic, with a squared 0, angular 2/3/5, and an 8 formed from stacked, boxy bowls, maintaining strong consistency across the set.
Best suited for display typography where impact and angular personality are desired: headlines, posters, team or gym identities, esports/event graphics, and bold packaging or label work. It can also serve UI accents and badges where a technical, rugged tone is appropriate and sizes are large enough to show the corner detailing.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, suggesting machinery, sports equipment, and digital-era display lettering. Its faceted construction lends a technical, “cut from plate” feel that reads assertive and no-nonsense. The look also carries a retro game/arcade flavor through its chunky geometry and simplified, pixel-adjacent shapes.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum punch with a disciplined, modular geometry, using systematic chamfers to create a signature “faceted” voice. The consistent straight-edge construction suggests an intention to evoke engineered materials and signage-like clarity while staying highly recognizable in short phrases and marks.
The design’s frequent corner cuts create distinctive silhouettes that hold up well at larger sizes, especially in all-caps settings. Open apertures and large interior spaces help maintain clarity despite the dense stroke weight, while the uniform, planar construction keeps texture even across longer words and headlines.
