A heavy, angular display face built from broad, straight strokes with frequent chamfers and diagonal cuts. Counters are small and often diamond- or polygon-shaped, giving rounded letters (O, Q, e) a faceted, cutout look. Joins tend to be abrupt and notched, with occasional wedge terminals that create a slightly stencil-like rhythm across words. The overall construction is geometric but intentionally irregular in detail, with tight interior spaces and compact apertures that emphasize silhouette over internal clarity.
Use it for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, poster titling, logo wordmarks, game or esports graphics, and techno-themed packaging or signage. It is most effective at large sizes, where the chamfered details and polygonal counters remain crisp and intentional.
The font projects an arcade-and-machinery attitude: sharp, synthetic, and energetic, with a playful aggression. Its faceted cut-ins and hard angles suggest sci‑fi interfaces, retro gaming graphics, and fabricated signage rather than traditional print typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, attention-grabbing display voice by replacing curves with faceted geometry and adding notches and wedge cuts to create motion and attitude. It prioritizes stylized silhouette and thematic texture over continuous reading comfort.
At text sizes the dense counters and notched shapes can reduce readability, especially in lowercase where apertures close quickly. It performs best when given generous tracking and used where its distinctive silhouette can lead the voice of the design.
