A faceted, angular sans with chamfered corners that replace most curves with straight segments, creating an octagonal rhythm in bowls and counters. Strokes read largely monoline, with crisp terminals and frequent diagonal cuts that give the outlines a machined, stencil-like precision without actual breaks. Proportions feel compact and slightly condensed in the caps, while the lowercase maintains a relatively large x-height and firm vertical stress for steady text color. Numerals and rounded letters echo the same multi-sided construction, keeping the set visually consistent and sharply geometric.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and display applications where the faceted construction can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also works well for signage and short bursts of text in posters or packaging, especially in contexts that benefit from an industrial or athletic voice. For long reading, its strong texture and angular detailing will be more effective in larger text sizes and with generous spacing.
The overall tone is hard-edged and engineered, suggesting metalwork, signage, and performance branding rather than softness or calligraphy. Its chiseled geometry nods to collegiate and blackletter-adjacent traditions while staying firmly in a modern, simplified sans vocabulary. The result feels assertive, energetic, and slightly retro in a way that reads well at distance.
The design appears intended to translate a cut-metal or beveled, geometric look into a clean, sans-based alphabet, prioritizing sharp silhouettes and consistency over smooth curvature. It aims to deliver a distinctive, high-impact texture that stays disciplined across letters and numerals for branding-forward typography.
The faceting is applied systematically across rounds (like O/Q/C/G and 0/8/9), giving a distinctive “cut” silhouette that remains consistent between uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The design favors strong verticals and squared shoulders, producing a stable baseline presence and punchy headline texture.
