A compact, angular sans with faceted strokes that replace curves with straight, chamfered planes. Letterforms are built from thick, even-weight strokes and sharp corners, creating a consistent, cut-metal silhouette. Counters tend to be small and polygonal (notably in O, Q, e, and 8), and joins often form pointed or notched intersections, giving the text a crisp, hard-edged rhythm. The lowercase follows the same geometric, segmented construction, with a single-storey a and a similarly simplified g, while numerals echo the octagonal, cut-corner motif for strong family cohesion.
Best suited to display settings where the faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, titles, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for signage or labels where a rugged, industrial voice is desired, and for game/UI titling where a sharp, mechanical aesthetic helps set tone.
The overall tone is tough and technical, with a distinct retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of engraved signage and arcade-era display lettering. Its sharp facets and assertive presence feel energetic and slightly aggressive, projecting a utilitarian, machine-made character.
The font appears designed to translate a carved or machined aesthetic into a cohesive alphabet: minimal modulation, planar corners, and compact proportions that deliver high impact. The emphasis seems to be on creating a distinctive texture and silhouette for short bursts of text rather than quiet, neutral reading.
The design’s repeated chamfers and notches create a recognizable texture across words, especially in sequences with many verticals (H, N, M, m, n) and in diagonals (K, V, W, Y). The distinctive, angled terminals can read as stencil or cutout cues at smaller sizes, so spacing and size choice will strongly influence legibility in longer text.
