A heavy, angular display sans with faceted contours and sharp, chiseled terminals. Strokes stay predominantly vertical and rectilinear, but edges are repeatedly notched, clipped, and wedge-cut, creating a torn or carved silhouette. Counters are narrow and often irregular (notably in letters like B, R, and the lowercase a), and several glyphs use internal spikes or pinches that add tension to the rhythm. Overall spacing feels compact and dense, with a rigid cap line and a mechanically consistent, blocky construction across letters and figures.
Best used at large sizes where the carved details remain clear: posters, headlines, event branding, title cards, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short packaging callouts or labels when a harsh, industrial-gothic texture is desired, but it is less suited to long-form reading due to its dense texture and narrow apertures.
The font reads as dark and forceful, combining a gothic severity with an industrial, poster-like punch. Its jagged cut-ins and pointed details add a sense of menace and urgency, while the squared framework keeps it disciplined and emblematic rather than chaotic. The overall tone is theatrical and intense—well suited to bold, attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, hard-edged display voice using a geometric sans foundation disrupted by chiseled cuts and spurs. Those consistent notches and wedge terminals suggest an aim for a carved/metal-stamped aesthetic that stays cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals while maximizing impact.
The character set mixes strict rectangular stems with deliberately irregular incisions, producing a strong texture at text sizes; the zigzag details become a distinctive pattern in words. Many lowercase forms echo the uppercase geometry, reinforcing a uniform, display-oriented voice. Numerals follow the same carved logic, with squared shapes and occasional internal notches that help maintain stylistic consistency.
