A heavy, angular display sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp facets. The geometry is predominantly rectangular with frequent diagonal cuts at terminals and outer corners, creating a beveled, machined silhouette. Counters are small and often squared-off, with a generally closed, high-ink presence that stays bold even in the more open forms. Spacing appears sturdy and rhythmic, with wide, stable letterforms and clear, modular construction across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to large-size display settings where its angular facets and dense weight can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, and bold packaging. It can also work well for game titles, interface headers, or techno-themed graphics where a rigid, machined aesthetic supports the message.
The faceted, cut-metal construction gives a tough, mechanical tone that reads as techno and arcade-like. Its sharp corners and dense color feel assertive and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling and retro game UI aesthetics rather than softness or refinement.
The design appears intended to translate a beveled, industrial look into a consistent typographic system, using planar cuts to suggest precision and toughness. It prioritizes punchy presence and a distinctive geometric voice over text-level neutrality.
Lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s blocky logic, keeping bowls and shoulders highly simplified and angular. Numerals follow the same chamfered language, with strong horizontal emphasis and small interior openings that favor impact over subtlety.
