A heavy, block-built sans with octagonal silhouettes and consistent chamfered corners that replace curves with crisp planar cuts. Strokes are uniform and square-ended, producing a strong, monolithic texture with tight internal counters and compact apertures. The design relies on straight segments and stepped joins, with diagonals used sparingly and treated as faceted cuts, giving letters a machined, stencil-like solidity without actual breaks. Numerals and capitals share a similar wide-shouldered geometry, and the lowercase echoes the same construction with simplified bowls and squared terminals for a cohesive rhythm.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, titling, logos, team or esports marks, posters, and product packaging where a tough geometric voice is desired. It also fits UI-style display treatments, game graphics, and signage where a faceted, machine-made texture supports the message.
The overall tone is assertive and engineered, evoking industrial labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, and retro arcade or scoreboard graphics. Its faceted geometry reads as durable and utilitarian, with a controlled, tactical feel rather than playful softness.
The letterforms appear intended to translate a square, modular construction into a refined display face by using consistent chamfers and straight-sided counters. The design aims for maximum visual weight and clarity through simplified geometry, delivering a robust, technical aesthetic that stays consistent across upper- and lowercase and numerals.
The sharp corner cuts create strong pixel-like highlights at small sizes and a bold, emblematic presence at large sizes. Because counters are relatively tight and shapes are highly angular, readability improves with generous tracking and ample line spacing in longer text.
