A heavy, block-driven sans with sharply faceted construction in place of curves. Strokes terminate in chamfered, planar corners that create a cut-metal silhouette, with rectangular counters and notched joins that emphasize a modular, engineered feel. The rhythm is compact and forceful, with broad proportions and a consistent, monoline weight that keeps texture dark and even in text. Numerals and capitals share the same polygonal logic, producing a cohesive, stencil-like geometry without actual breaks.
Best suited for display work where its faceted detailing can be appreciated: headlines, posters, branding marks, album/cover art, game UI titles, and product packaging that benefits from a rugged, engineered look. It can work for short bursts of text, but its dense texture and sharp interior angles favor larger sizes and spacious layouts.
The tone is hard-edged and mechanical, suggesting industrial signage and sci‑fi interface typography. Its angular facets and dense color convey urgency and strength, leaning toward a techno, arcade, or dystopian aesthetic rather than a neutral everyday voice.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, cut-and-chamfer construction into a bold sans voice—replacing curves with planar facets to evoke manufactured materials and digital/industrial themes while maintaining a consistent, high-impact presence across letters and numerals.
Diagonal cuts and inset corners create distinctive internal shapes—especially in rounded letters and figures—so word shapes become highly characteristic. At smaller sizes the sharp notches can visually merge, while at display sizes the faceting reads as deliberate detailing and texture.
