A compact, angular display face built from straight strokes and hard corners, with frequent wedge-like cuts at terminals that create a chiseled silhouette. Forms lean rectangular and modular, with tight interior counters (notably in O/Q and the bowls of B/P/R) and a strong, even stroke presence that keeps color dense in text. Curves are minimized in favor of faceted geometry, producing a jagged rhythm in diagonals (V/W/X) and a boxy, mechanical feel in round letters. Lowercase echoes the uppercase construction with a tall x-height and simplified, narrow apertures, keeping the overall texture firm and uniform.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and title treatments where the angular detailing can be appreciated. It also fits entertainment and genre-forward design contexts—particularly dark, industrial, or sci‑fi themed graphics—where a strong, stylized texture is desirable.
The letterforms convey a sharp, severe tone with a distinctly gothic-meets-tech flavor. The pointed terminal cuts add menace and urgency, while the rigid geometry suggests machinery, armor, or carved signage. Overall it reads as assertive and dramatic rather than neutral or conversational.
The design appears intended as a statement sans with a carved, blade-like finish, prioritizing distinctive silhouette and atmosphere over long-form readability. Its modular geometry and repeated terminal cuts aim to produce a consistent, forceful texture that feels both archaic and mechanized.
At smaller sizes the tight counters and dense texture can reduce clarity, while larger settings emphasize the distinctive notched terminals and faceted joins. Numerals follow the same squared, cut-in styling, keeping a consistent voice across alphanumerics.
