A heavy, geometric display face built from straight strokes and sharp, faceted corners. Letterforms feel cut from an octagonal grid: counters are mostly squared or rectangular, curves are largely avoided, and terminals often resolve into pointed wedges or clipped edges. The rhythm is compact and blocky with frequent diagonal cuts that create a jagged silhouette, while spacing stays relatively tight and consistent across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, title cards, logos, packaging callouts, and game or tech-themed UI elements where the angular silhouette can carry the design. In longer text, it works most effectively for brief phrases, labels, or thematic pull quotes where legibility at small sizes is less critical.
The overall tone is aggressive and synthetic, evoking sci‑fi interfaces, arcade cabinet lettering, and hard-edged industrial signage. Its angular cuts and spike-like terminals add a playful menace that reads as experimental and attention-grabbing rather than neutral or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, cut-metal aesthetic through repeated chamfers and wedge terminals, prioritizing character and texture over conventional readability. It aims to create a strong visual signature that feels engineered and stylized, fitting decorative and themed applications.
Uppercase and lowercase share a unified construction, with the lowercase behaving like a stylized small-cap companion rather than a separate humanist set. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, emphasizing chamfered corners and rectangular counters for a cohesive, emblematic look.
