A sharply angular display face built from faceted, beveled shapes, with many glyphs suggesting a cut gemstone or folded metal surface. Strokes are largely monoline in feel but broken into planar segments with small internal highlights/voids, producing a chiseled, dimensional effect. Corners tend to be clipped and pointed, counters are often squared, and several letters show deliberate notches and fractured joins that create a distressed, segmented construction. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the set, reinforcing a constructed, modular rhythm rather than a smooth text flow.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as titles, posters, game/interface headings, album art, and event or product branding where a futuristic or industrial mood is desired. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that benefit from a faceted, distressed construction, while longer paragraphs will be less comfortable due to the dense internal detailing.
The overall tone is cold, mechanical, and high-energy—evoking sci‑fi interfaces, cyberpunk signage, and armored hardware aesthetics. The faceted cuts and irregular breaks add tension and grit, giving the font an aggressive, clandestine feel rather than a polished corporate one.
The design appears intended to mimic carved or machined lettering—like characters cut from black quartz or folded sheet metal—combining geometric precision with controlled breakage to create a rugged, techno-themed display voice.
In the sample text the internal cuts and sharp terminals become visually busy at smaller sizes; the face reads best when given room so the beveled details and fractures remain distinct. Numerals follow the same angular, paneled logic, matching well with headline and poster-style typography.
