A heavy, faceted display face built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar cuts. Letterforms are predominantly blocky and squared, with frequent octagonal outer contours (notably in O/C/G and the numerals) and sharp diagonal terminals that create a carved, mechanical rhythm. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and joins are hard and abrupt, producing a dense, high-impact texture in words. The lowercase echoes the uppercase construction with simplified, geometric forms and minimal modulation, while numerals maintain the same chamfered, sign-like geometry for consistent color across mixed text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, album and event posters, brand marks, and packaging where the faceted construction can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits entertainment and tech-adjacent visuals (e.g., game titles, esports, and industrial-themed graphics) where a sharp, engineered voice is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and metallic, evoking engraved signage, machined parts, and vintage poster lettering. Its sharp facets and dense silhouettes lend a dramatic, slightly gothic attitude that reads as tough, game-like, and attention-seeking rather than conversational.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter-like angularity into a simplified geometric system, using chamfered corners and straight segments to suggest carving or metalwork. The goal seems to be maximum presence and a distinctive silhouette in display typography, with consistent, repeatable facets across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
The faceting produces many acute interior angles and tight apertures, which increases visual crunch in longer lines and makes spacing feel compact. The design’s distinct chamfers give it strong shape recognition at large sizes, but the busy joins can visually merge at smaller sizes or in low-resolution settings.
