A heavy, angular display face built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. The forms feel blocky and compact with slightly irregular internal shaping that adds a cut-metal, machined texture rather than a purely geometric finish. Counters are small and often polygonal (notably in O, B, 8), and terminals tend to end in flat, clipped angles. Spacing reads moderately tight in text, with strong black density and a steady baseline presence across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It performs especially well where a sharp, mechanical texture is desirable and where letters can be set with generous size; for long passages of small text, the dense weight and tight counters may feel heavy.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking signage, equipment markings, and bold headings where impact matters more than subtlety. Its faceted construction adds a distinctly retro-industrial flavor—somewhere between arcade-era graphics and hard-edged poster lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through a faceted, chiseled construction that reads like cut or stamped lettering. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, compact counters, and a consistent angular vocabulary to create a distinctive industrial voice.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same chiseled construction, giving mixed-case settings a uniform, graphic rhythm rather than a calligraphic hierarchy. Numerals are similarly faceted and sturdy, designed to hold their shape at large sizes and in high-contrast applications.
