A heavy, block-built sans with squared counters and sharply cut corners. Forms are constructed from chunky rectilinear shapes with diagonal notches and chiseled joins, creating a stepped, mechanical rhythm rather than smooth curves. Counters tend to be small and boxy (notably in O, P, R, 8), apertures are tight, and terminals are blunt, giving the face a dense, compact color despite its broad proportions. The lowercase follows the same modular, angular construction, with single-storey a and g and a tall, rigid i/j treatment that reinforces the font’s industrial geometry.
Best suited for display contexts where bold, high-impact letterforms are desirable: posters, short headlines, brand marks, game titles/UI callouts, and packaging panels. It holds up especially well in large sizes where the carved diagonals and squared counters can be appreciated; for long passages or small text, the tight apertures and dense shapes may reduce readability.
The overall tone is forceful and machine-made, with a retro-digital edge reminiscent of arcade graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and stencil-cut signage. Its angular cuts add a sense of speed and impact, leaning more toward display drama than quiet neutrality.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual punch through a modular, hard-edged construction, echoing industrial fabrication and retro-digital aesthetics. The consistent chiseled details suggest an intent to create a distinctive, emblematic voice for attention-grabbing typography.
The design relies on consistent straight strokes and deliberate diagonal cut-ins that create distinctive silhouettes in letters like S, K, R, and Z. Numerals match the same squared logic; 0 is rectangular with a small inner counter, while 2–5 feature strong horizontal stepping that reads well at larger sizes.
