This typeface is built from heavy, straight strokes with chamfered corners that replace curves with crisp planar facets. Bowls and counters read as octagonal or rectangular apertures, creating a consistent, engineered rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Terminals are blunt and horizontal/vertical, with diagonals used sparingly but decisively (notably in K, V, W, X, Y). The lowercase is simplified and sturdy, with single-storey forms and squared shoulders, and the figures are similarly block-like with cut-in corners that keep shapes open and stable at display sizes.
Best suited to bold headlines, poster titling, branding marks, and sports or tech-forward graphics where angular geometry can carry the identity. It also fits packaging and signage that benefits from a rugged, high-impact sans with clear, faceted silhouettes.
The overall tone feels mechanical and performance-oriented, projecting strength and precision rather than softness. The faceted geometry evokes industrial signage and digital hardware aesthetics, with a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads well in bold, attention-grabbing contexts.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, cut-corner construction into a highly impactful sans, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a consistent faceted motif. Its forms aim for immediacy and presence, with simplified shapes that maintain clarity when set large.
The chamfers are applied consistently, producing a distinctive “machined” silhouette that stays coherent in mixed-case settings. Counters are relatively tight and the internal cutouts are strongly geometric, which favors short headlines and marks over long, small-size text.
