A heavy, geometric sans with octagonal construction and frequent 45° cut corners. Strokes are predominantly monolinear in feel but with selective thinning and internal notches that create a subtle, engineered contrast. Counters are compact and often squared-off, while terminals are blunt and chamfered, giving letters a machined, modular silhouette. The texture is dense and rhythmic, with tight apertures and strong horizontal presence that reads best at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and logo/wordmark work where a hard-edged, technical tone is desirable. It performs well for packaging, esports or sports branding, album/film titles, and UI-style graphics when set large enough for the tight counters and notches to remain clear.
The face projects a tough, industrial mood with a retro-digital edge—evoking arcade cabinets, military labeling, and sci‑fi UI typography. Its sharp facets and reduced curves make it feel assertive and technical, prioritizing impact over softness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual force with a mechanical, faceted aesthetic, using chamfers and constrained counters to create a distinctive, industrial display voice. It balances geometric consistency with purposeful notches and cut-ins to add character and a sense of engineered detail.
Uppercase forms are especially blocky and emblematic, while lowercase retains the same faceted logic for a consistent voice. Numerals follow the same cut-corner geometry, with simplified interiors that keep the set cohesive and punchy in headings.
