A squared, geometric display face with mostly straight strokes, rounded outer corners, and boxy counters. Many glyphs include inset cut-ins and small notch-like voids that create a stencil-like construction, while the interior texture shows subtle chips and wear for a printed, slightly distressed finish. Curves are restrained and engineered (notably in C, G, O, Q), and the overall rhythm is tight and modular with crisp terminals and consistent stroke thickness. Numerals follow the same squared, segmented logic, giving a cohesive, sign-like system across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited for posters, titles, and branding where an industrial or vintage-tech mood is desired. It can work effectively for signage, labels, packaging, and game/film graphics that benefit from a mechanical, stenciled look with subtle wear.
The font projects an industrial, retro-technological tone—part factory signage, part mechanical labeling—with a lightly weathered edge that adds grit without becoming chaotic. It feels firm, functional, and bold in attitude, evoking equipment plates, workshop typography, and vintage sci‑fi or arcade-era graphics.
The letterforms appear designed to mimic constructed signage and machine-made lettering, combining squared geometry with stencil-like cutouts and a lightly worn print texture. The goal seems to be high-impact display typography that feels engineered and rugged rather than refined.
The design reads best at larger sizes where the internal notches and worn details remain clear; at smaller sizes those features may visually fill in and reduce clarity. The lowercase maintains the same constructed, display-forward style rather than a text-oriented cursive or humanist flow.
