A heavy, block-built display face with aggressively chamfered corners and frequent triangular notches that carve into stems and joins. Counters are largely collapsed or reduced to small cut-ins, giving many letters a solid, punched-metal feel rather than open interior space. Curves are mostly implied through faceted octagonal shapes (notably in O/0), while diagonals are steep and wedge-like in letters such as K, V, W, X, and Y. Proportions are compact with broad strokes, and the overall rhythm is driven by repeated corner cuts and bite marks that keep shapes visually consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as poster headlines, logos, product packaging, and title cards where its solid silhouettes can read at a glance. It also fits interface-style applications (e.g., game UI, sci‑fi or industrial themes) when used at sufficiently large sizes and with generous spacing.
The tone is tough and mechanical, evoking industrial labeling, stencil-cut signage, and retro arcade or sci‑fi interfaces. The sharp chamfers and filled interiors create an assertive, armored voice that reads as rugged and utilitarian rather than refined.
The design appears intended to translate a carved or die-cut aesthetic into a typographic system: corners are systematically chamfered, curves are faceted, and counters are intentionally minimized to emphasize mass and durability. The repeated notches act as a signature detail, adding irregular energy while maintaining a consistent construction logic.
Legibility relies on silhouette recognition more than counterforms; at smaller sizes the dense interiors and notched details may merge, while at larger sizes the faceted construction becomes a defining texture. Figures and round letters share the same octagonal logic, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered motif.
