A sharply angular, faceted display face built from thick, monoline strokes with extensive chamfering and pointed terminals. Counters tend toward polygonal forms, often with small square or octagonal openings, and many joins resolve into beveled notches that create a cut-metal, stencil-like feel. The rhythm is intentionally jagged: diagonals and split strokes appear in several letters, producing a segmented, machined silhouette while keeping consistent stroke weight and strong, dark texture in text.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, titles, and brand marks where the angular detailing can be appreciated. It also fits game-related UI, tech or sci‑fi themed graphics, and album/merch designs that benefit from a sharp, mechanical texture. Larger sizes and generous spacing help preserve clarity as the internal cuts and tight counters can fill in at smaller scales.
The overall tone is assertive and high-energy, evoking arcade screens, sci‑fi interfaces, and hard-edged industrial graphics. Its crisp angles and knife-like cuts read as edgy and playful at the same time, giving it a wacky, experimental voice rather than a traditional typographic one.
The design appears intended to translate a hard, geometric ‘cut from metal’ motif into a readable alphabet, prioritizing distinctive silhouettes and a consistent chamfered construction. It aims for impact and character over neutrality, offering a stylized voice for themed display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a closely related construction, with many forms feeling like compact, logo-ready symbols rather than conventional book letters. Numerals and round letters maintain the same faceted geometry, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered aesthetic across the set.
