A compact, heavy, angular sans with planar cut corners that replace curves with crisp facets. Strokes are uniform and squared-off, producing a strong, poster-like silhouette with octagonal counters (notably in O, 0, and 8) and sharp internal corners. Terminals are mostly flat with frequent diagonal chamfers, and the overall geometry feels grid-based and engineered, keeping consistent weight while varying widths across glyphs for a lively rhythm. Lowercase mirrors the same hard-edged construction, with simple, sturdy forms and minimal contrast.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, and branding where a bold geometric voice is needed. It can also work well in gaming or tech interface accents and sports-style titling, especially at larger sizes where the faceted details and tight counters remain clear.
The faceted construction and blunt, geometric massing give the font a distinctly technical, game-adjacent energy. It reads as assertive and mechanical—more “hardware/arcade UI” than editorial—while the consistent chamfers add a stylized, futuristic edge without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, cut-metal aesthetic into a highly legible display sans. By standardizing chamfered corners and polygonal counters across the character set, it aims to deliver a strong, modern voice that feels engineered and energetic.
Counters tend to be small and polygonal, so the design looks especially solid at display sizes. The faceting is applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive system that maintains clarity while emphasizing a rugged, machined feel.
