A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Counters tend toward squarish or octagonal shapes, and joints are cut on diagonals that create a consistent, engineered rhythm across the alphabet. The lowercase follows the same angular logic with mostly single-storey forms, while punctuation and numerals keep the same clipped, hard-edged construction. Overall spacing reads compact and sturdy, with a uniform stroke feel and clear, high-contrast interior voids.
Best suited to display settings where its angular silhouettes can read at a glance—headlines, branding, posters, and packaging. It also fits themed applications like esports, arcade or sci‑fi graphics, product labels, and bold wayfinding-style treatments, especially at medium to large sizes.
The faceted construction and clipped corners convey a mechanical, game-like energy—confident, synthetic, and slightly retro-digital. It suggests signage, hardware, and stylized sci‑fi interfaces rather than conversational body text.
The design appears intended to translate a sturdy geometric sans into a faceted, machined style that feels precise and impactful. By systematically replacing curves with chamfers and keeping stroke behavior consistent, it aims for a strong, emblematic voice that remains legible while looking purpose-built.
Diagonal cuts recur at terminals and corners, giving many glyphs an octagonal silhouette and a modular, fabricated look. The design stays consistent from caps to figures, helping mixed-case settings retain a cohesive, “built” texture.
