A heavy, compact sans with squared bowls and rounded-rectangle counters, built from broad strokes and decisive, cut-in terminals. Many glyphs introduce sharp wedge-like notches and small flares at joins, creating a chiseled, almost stencil-adjacent rhythm without fully breaking strokes. Curves are generally squarish and controlled (notably in C/O/S), while diagonals and joins often terminate in pointed spurs that add motion and texture. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the set, giving lines an uneven, energetic cadence rather than a strictly geometric flow.
Best suited to display roles where personality and punch matter: headlines, posters, branding marks, game/arcade UI, packaging, and entertainment graphics. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but the irregular spurs and chiseled terminals may feel busy in long passages at smaller sizes.
The overall tone reads futuristic and forceful, with a slightly mischievous, arcade/comic edge. The pointed notches and flared terminals suggest speed and impact, making the font feel assertive and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, modern display voice that stands apart from conventional grotesks by adding carved-in notches and flared, blade-like terminals. The goal seems to be high impact and a distinctive silhouette, especially in uppercase and short phrases.
Distinctive details include triangular cut-ins on several capitals, a spur-tailed Q, and angular, blade-like treatments on diagonals (e.g., V/W/X/K). Numerals follow the same squared, chunky construction, with simplified forms and occasional sharp corner accents that keep the texture consistent in mixed text.
