A heavy, all-caps-forward display sans built from sharp planar facets rather than curves. Strokes are uniform in thickness, with squared counters and triangular nicks that create a carved, polygonal silhouette. The geometry leans horizontal and expansive, with wide bowls and broad letterforms, while spacing and widths vary per glyph to keep a dynamic, cut-metal rhythm. Numerals and lowercase echo the same faceted construction, producing crisp corners, flattened arcs, and strong, stencil-like internal openings.
Works best for display applications where impact and personality matter: posters, event titles, packaging callouts, game branding and UI headings, and bold logo wordmarks. It’s particularly effective on dark backgrounds or in high-contrast layouts where the faceted edges can read clearly.
The overall tone is forceful and mechanized, evoking sci‑fi interfaces, arcade title screens, and industrial signage. Its jagged facets add tension and motion, giving text a loud, action-oriented presence.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, faceted construction into a compact, high-impact display voice—prioritizing a sharp, technical aesthetic and strong silhouette over conventional text readability.
At text sizes the angular cut-ins and compact counters can visually fill in, especially in dense lines, so it reads best when given generous size and breathing room. The distinctive notches and wedge terminals create a consistent “shattered plate” texture across words, making it more suited to short statements than long passages.
