A very heavy, geometric display face built from squared and chamfered strokes, with frequent 45° corner cuts that give many forms an octagonal silhouette. A narrow inline cut is carved through the black strokes, creating crisp interior channels that read like engraved highlights and add a strong internal rhythm. Counters are generally rectangular and tight, terminals are blunt, and curves are largely avoided in favor of straight segments, producing a rigid, engineered texture across words. Diacritics and dots are rendered as small squared elements, keeping the construction consistently modular.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, labels, and event graphics where the inline engraving can be appreciated. It also fits techno, gaming, and industrial-themed UI or titling, especially when used at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is industrial and techno-leaning, with a retro arcade/sci‑fi flavor. The engraved inline detail adds a machined, metallic impression, making the font feel bold, forceful, and intentionally synthetic rather than friendly or handwritten.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a constructed, machine-made aesthetic, using chamfered geometry and an internal inline to create a distinctive, engraved look. It prioritizes display clarity and style over neutral text readability, aiming for a strong branded or thematic voice.
The inline carving can visually clutter at small sizes or in dense settings, but it becomes a distinctive signature in larger display use. The chamfered geometry helps prevent large black masses from feeling flat, adding a dimensional, sign-paint or cut-metal character without introducing curvature.
