A heavy, square-built slab serif with strongly rectilinear construction and crisp 90° corners. Strokes are mostly uniform but show clear internal contrast created by inset counters, stepped joins, and occasional cut-in notches, giving the letters a chiseled, modular feel. Serifs read as thick, rectangular blocks that anchor the forms, while counters tend toward boxy, squared apertures. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, producing a rugged rhythm that feels engineered rather than bookish.
Best suited to bold headlines, poster typography, and branding marks where its blocky slabs and carved details can carry the composition. It also fits game titles, retro-tech UI elements, and packaging accents that benefit from a strong, industrial voice. For longer reading, it will generally work better in short bursts or at larger sizes due to its dense texture.
The overall tone is tough and mechanical, with a distinctly retro-digital flavor. Its stepped details and chunky slabs evoke arcade graphics, industrial signage, and sci‑fi interfaces, projecting confidence and a slightly aggressive, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to combine classic slab-serif authority with a modular, digitally influenced construction. Its squared serifs and stepped internal cuts suggest a goal of maximum impact and a recognizable, machine-made silhouette for display-led applications.
Many characters incorporate deliberate “bites” and interior cutouts that create a pseudo-stencil impression without fully breaking the forms. In text, the dense color and angular detailing make it most comfortable at display sizes where the blocky counters and notches remain clearly legible.
