A squared, angular sans with predominantly straight strokes, clipped corners, and octagonal curves that give bowls and counters a mechanical, constructed feel. Stroke weight is even and robust, with compact apertures and boxy interior shapes (notably in forms like O, D, and 8). Many terminals appear cut or notched, and several glyphs show deliberate roughness and small breaks along edges and joins, producing an intentionally worn print texture. The lowercase follows the same geometric logic, with single-storey forms and simplified joins that keep the overall rhythm tight and modular.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, game and sci‑fi interfaces, event branding, and rugged product packaging where a mechanical, worn aesthetic is desired. It can also work for short labels or callouts on signage-style layouts, especially when paired with clean supporting text for longer reading.
The overall tone is industrial and techno, with a gritty, hard-wearing edge that reads like stamped metal, factory labeling, or distressed digital signage. Its sharp geometry and scuffed details convey toughness and urgency rather than refinement, leaning into a utilitarian, high-impact voice.
The design appears intended to combine a geometric, machine-built structure with controlled distressing, creating a typeface that feels both engineered and weathered. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and an industrial texture to deliver character and impact in thematic branding and title work.
Round characters are consistently squared-off, so curves resolve into flat segments rather than smooth arcs, which reinforces the engineered look. The distressing is integrated into the letterforms as small chips and irregularities rather than heavy erosion, keeping the font legible while still textured. Numerals match the same octagonal construction and feel suited to display sizing where the cut corners and notches can be appreciated.
