A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and sharp chamfered corners, replacing curves with faceted, near-octagonal forms. The letterforms are broad with a compact, sturdy build, using consistent stroke thickness and squared terminals softened by diagonal cuts. Counters are typically rectangular or notched, and several glyphs incorporate cut-ins and interior breaks that emphasize a constructed, modular feel. Spacing reads relatively tight and the overall rhythm is dense and emphatic, with clear differentiation between uppercase and lowercase through simplified, angular structures.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, and logo/wordmark work where its angular silhouettes can read as a graphic element. It also fits UI theming for games, sci‑fi/tech packaging, and event branding that benefits from a robust, industrial voice. For longer passages, it works most comfortably at larger sizes where the internal notches and tight rhythm remain clear.
The typeface projects a hard-edged, engineered tone that feels at home in sci‑fi and machinery-inspired settings. Its faceted geometry and blunt massing evoke digital hardware, arcade interfaces, and armored branding. The overall impression is bold, direct, and slightly confrontational, prioritizing impact over softness.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary display face that translates futuristic and industrial cues into a strict, facet-driven geometry. By standardizing chamfers and avoiding curves, it aims to deliver a strong, mechanical presence with a distinctive, constructed texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Diagonal corner cuts are used systematically, creating a cohesive “machined” silhouette across the alphabet and numerals. The most distinctive character comes from the repeated use of inset notches and squared counters, which adds visual texture in text while keeping the overall structure rigid and architectural.
