A condensed, all-caps-forward sans with a rigid geometric build and consistently heavy strokes. Forms are constructed from straight segments and squared curves, producing boxy counters and clipped corners throughout. Terminals are abrupt and flat, with occasional notch-like cut-ins and narrow apertures that give several letters a semi-stenciled, modular feel. Spacing reads relatively tight and the overall rhythm is vertical and compact, emphasizing tall stems and a mechanical, grid-friendly texture.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, title cards, album/cover art, brand marks, and packaging where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work for UI labels, counters, or scoreboard-style numerals when the design calls for a hard, technical texture, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian tone with a techno-industrial edge. Its sharp angles and squared geometry feel assertive and engineered, evoking signage, machinery labeling, and game/film interface aesthetics rather than neutral text typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-contrast display sans with a constructed, modular flavor—prioritizing impact and a mechanical personality over continuous, bookish readability.
The distinctive, cut-in detailing in some glyphs adds character while keeping the overall construction systematic. Numerals follow the same squarish logic and maintain strong presence, making them suitable for short, high-contrast callouts. At small sizes the tight openings and blocky joins may reduce clarity, so it reads best when given space and scale.
