A heavy, geometric sans built from chunky rectangular masses with squared terminals and frequent diagonal cuts that notch corners and soften otherwise hard blocks. Counters are small and often rectangular, giving letters a dense, compact interior and a strong silhouette at distance. The rhythm is assertive and mechanical, with minimal curvature and a consistent, modular feel; a few glyphs introduce cut-ins and step-like details that create a stencil-adjacent, engineered look. Numerals match the same block construction, with sharp angles and tight apertures.
Best suited to display settings where strong silhouettes matter: posters, headlines, product labels, sports branding, and logo/wordmark work that wants a rugged, engineered voice. It also fits UI or title treatments for games and tech/industrial themes, where its block construction reads clearly at larger sizes.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, reading as industrial and game-like at the same time. Its hard edges and notched geometry suggest machinery, warning graphics, or retro arcade aesthetics, projecting confidence and impact rather than subtlety.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact counters, squared geometry, and signature notched cuts, creating a functional, industrial display sans that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
In longer text the dense counters and tight apertures make the texture very dark, so spacing and size become important for clarity. The distinctive cut corners and interior cutouts add character but can reduce legibility at small sizes, especially in letters with enclosed forms.
