A sharply angular, block-built sans with heavy, monoline strokes and crisp, chamfered corners. Glyphs are constructed from straight segments with minimal curvature, producing a faceted, cut-out look; counters are often rectangular and tightly enclosed. The design mixes squarish proportions with occasional, deliberate tilts and notches, creating an uneven, hand-cut rhythm while keeping a strong vertical stance. Spacing feels compact and dense, and the bold silhouette reads as solid black shapes at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, logos, game or arcade-themed UI, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for event flyers or album art where a gritty geometric texture is desired, while longer passages are better kept large with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is loud, mechanical, and game-like—evoking arcade title screens, DIY signage, and industrial stenciling. Its jagged geometry adds a mischievous, energetic edge that feels playful rather than refined, with a retro-tech attitude that stands out immediately.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through hard-edged geometry and compact, emblematic letterforms, prioritizing a distinctive, fabricated aesthetic over neutrality. Its faceted construction suggests an intention to reference arcade/tech culture and industrial signage in a single, punchy display style.
The numerals and capitals appear particularly squared and emblematic, favoring iconic shapes over smooth readability. Diagonals are rendered as stepped or chamfered cuts, and several letters incorporate small cut-ins that give a fabricated, punched-from-sheet feel.
