A heavy, condensed display sans built from sharp, planar facets that replace curves with clipped corners and straight segments. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with squarish counters and abrupt terminals that create a rugged, cut-metal silhouette. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with compact sidebearings and slightly irregular, hand-cut geometry that keeps repeated angles visually consistent across the set.
Best suited for headlines and short statements where impact and character matter more than extended reading comfort. It fits posters, album or event graphics, bold branding marks, packaging callouts, and game or esports-style interfaces that benefit from a sharp, machined look.
The overall tone is tough and assertive, with a mechanical, hard-edged voice that feels engineered rather than friendly. Its faceted construction reads as tactical and urban, evoking stenciled signage, arcade title screens, or heavy-metal poster energy without ornamental flourishes.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint by combining condensed proportions with a consistent faceted construction. Its repeated angled cuts suggest a deliberate effort to create a distinctive, industrial display voice that stays legible while emphasizing a hard, geometric personality.
Distinctive shapes include a hexagonal/diamond-like "0" and similarly faceted bowls and apertures throughout, which amplify the geometric theme. The lowercase maintains the same chiseled language as the uppercase, supporting dense headlines while keeping a deliberately rugged texture at larger sizes.
