Keywords: headlines, posters, logos, sports branding, game ui, industrial, futuristic, arcade, assertive, athletic, impact, machined feel, sci-fi ui, branding, blocky, faceted, angular, stencil-like, chamfered.
A heavy, block-constructed sans with sharp chamfers and planar cuts that replace curves with faceted geometry. Strokes are uniformly thick with tight counters and squared apertures, creating a compact, armored silhouette. Terminals are flat and abrupt, and many joins are reinforced by angled notches that give the forms a machined, cut-metal feel. Overall spacing reads slightly tight and the forms are intentionally rigid, prioritizing strong shape recognition over softness or calligraphic modulation.
Best used for headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and identity marks that need a bold, mechanical presence. It also fits game UI, esports/sports branding, and titles where angular, high-impact letterforms help establish a technical or aggressive atmosphere.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, and arcade-era display type. Its hard facets and dense weight communicate toughness and momentum, lending an action-oriented, competitive energy.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face built from straight segments and chamfered corners to suggest speed, machinery, and digital/industrial fabrication. Its emphasis on faceting and compact counters points to a goal of strong, graphic presence in short phrases and titling.
At larger sizes the angular detailing becomes a defining texture, while at smaller sizes the small counters and tight interior spaces can reduce clarity. The font’s distinctive facets create a consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals, making it especially suited to short bursts of text where impact matters most.
