A heavy, geometric display sans built from straight strokes and sharp chamfered corners, replacing curves with clipped, faceted turns. Counters tend toward octagonal or rectangular forms, with notched joins and wedge-like terminals that create a crisp, machined silhouette. The capitals are tall and blocky with compact apertures, while the lowercase follows the same angular construction with simplified bowls and squared-off shoulders. Numerals share the same cut-corner logic, producing strong, uniform color and high impact at larger sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and logo or badge-style wordmarks where its angular facets can be appreciated. It also fits entertainment and interface contexts—especially game titles or UI labels—where a strong, technical tone is desired.
The faceted construction and hard corners give the type a technical, game-like energy—part industrial labeling, part retro arcade. Its dense shapes and sharp rhythm feel assertive and utilitarian, suggesting ruggedness and motion rather than softness or elegance.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a geometric, cut-metal aesthetic into a robust sans, emphasizing faceted corners, compact counters, and a consistent set of chamfers to create a distinctive, high-impact texture.
The design reads best when given room: the tight apertures and frequent interior notches can close up at small sizes, but become a distinctive texture in headlines. The consistent chamfer angles across glyphs create a cohesive, modular feel that supports punchy all-caps settings and bold wordmarks.
