A heavy, block-constructed display face built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. The letterforms read as compact, geometric silhouettes with frequent 45° chamfers, producing an octagonal, machine-cut feel across rounds and diagonals alike. Counters are small and mostly rectangular, with minimal internal detailing, and terminals end abruptly with hard cuts. Spacing appears fairly tight in text, and the overall texture is dense and uniform, emphasizing silhouette over fine typographic nuance.
Best suited to display contexts where strong silhouettes matter: headlines, posters, title cards, brand marks, and labels. It also fits UI moments that want a retro-tech or industrial flavor—such as game menus, scoreboards, or signage-style callouts—especially at medium to large sizes where the facets and tight counters remain clear.
The faceted geometry gives the font a tough, utilitarian voice—evoking stenciled signage, hard-surface sci‑fi interfaces, and classic arcade-era lettering. Its sharp cuts and dense rhythm communicate impact and urgency rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, hard-edged construction into an all-caps-and-beyond system that stays visually consistent across letters and numbers. By carving curves into chamfered planes and keeping counters compact, it aims for maximum impact and a distinctly engineered, faceted identity.
Uppercase and lowercase share a strongly unified, blocky construction, making the lowercase feel more like a scaled companion than a distinctly calligraphic set. Numerals follow the same chamfered logic, staying sturdy and highly graphic, with forms that prioritize bold shape recognition in short bursts of text.
