A heavy, angular display sans built from blocky, rectilinear stems with sharply cut triangular and trapezoidal counters. The design relies on faceted notches and wedge-shaped ink traps that carve into joins and bowls, creating a distinctly “cut metal” silhouette. Curves are minimized and, where present, are flattened into straight segments, giving letters a geometric, machined rhythm. Spacing and sidebearings feel somewhat inconsistent by design, contributing to a variable, modular texture in words.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, game titles/UI labels, and packaging where the angular detailing can be appreciated. It performs well when given generous size and spacing, and is less appropriate for long-form text or small on-screen reading.
The face conveys a hard-edged, engineered attitude—more tactical and industrial than friendly. Its sharp internal cuts and dense black shapes suggest sci-fi interfaces, arcade/gaming aesthetics, and bold, no-nonsense messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, distinctive voice through faceted geometry and stencil-like cutouts, prioritizing graphic presence and thematic styling over neutrality. Its constructed shapes and sharp counters aim to create a memorable, emblematic look for display typography.
Distinctive triangular apertures and inset counters help differentiate similar forms, but the aggressive cut-ins can reduce clarity at small sizes. The figures and capitals read particularly strong and emblematic, while lowercase forms maintain the same angular, constructed logic for a cohesive set.
