A compact, heavy display face built from tall rectangular silhouettes with chamfered, octagonal corners. Each glyph reads as an enclosed block with interior counters cut out, creating an inline/knockout effect where the letterforms appear carved from solid tiles. Strokes are predominantly straight and geometric, with sharp joins, angular terminals, and minimal curvature; rounded letters are rendered as faceted shapes. Spacing and sidebearings feel tight, and the overall rhythm is columnar and modular, emphasizing verticality and dense texture at text sizes.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as posters, packaging, team or event branding, and punchy headlines where the blocky silhouettes can dominate. It also fits interface or on-screen contexts like game UI, badges, and labels, especially where a compact, industrial texture and strong figure/ground contrast are desirable.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a rugged, manufactured feel that recalls labeling, scoreboards, and arcade-era graphic systems. The cutout interiors add a coded, stencil-like character, giving the design a slightly tactical and game-UI attitude while staying highly graphic and logo-forward.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual weight in minimal horizontal space while maintaining distinct letter recognition through carved counters and chamfered geometry. Its tile-based construction suggests an intention to emulate stenciled signage or modular display systems with a bold, graphic presence.
The design’s faceted geometry is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, with many forms relying on corner notches and rectangular counters. The inverted, tile-like construction makes the font most distinctive when used with strong contrast against its background, where the carved counters and angular apertures remain clearly visible.
