A heavy, squared-off sans with chiseled, planar facets that replace most curves with straight segments and abrupt corners. The letters are built from broad strokes with crisp interior cut-ins and notched counters, giving bowls and apertures a geometric, machined feel. Proportions skew wide and sturdy, with a tight, compact rhythm in text despite the large footprint; joins and terminals tend to end in flat planes or sharp bevels rather than rounded endings. Numerals and uppercase forms read as monolithic blocks, while lowercase keeps similarly rigid construction with simplified, rectangular counters and minimal detailing.
Best suited for display work where bold silhouettes and sharp geometry are an advantage—headlines, posters, title cards, game UI/branding, esports and sports graphics, and punchy packaging or sticker-style labels. It can also work for short, high-contrast signage or badges, but the dense counters suggest keeping body text brief and sizes generous.
The overall tone is loud and assertive, evoking retro-futurist display lettering, arcade-era graphics, and industrial signage. Its faceted construction adds a hard-edged, engineered character that feels energetic and slightly combative, suited to high-impact messaging.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through wide, blocklike forms and a signature faceted motif, trading softness and nuance for a strong, engineered silhouette. Its consistent bevel language suggests an intent to feel contemporary and technical while nodding to retro digital and arcade aesthetics.
The design relies on consistent angled cuts across many glyphs, creating a cohesive “carved” texture that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes. Counters are relatively small and often rectangular, which increases density and makes the silhouette the primary identifier in longer text.
