A compact, angular display sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, creating a faceted, almost cut-metal silhouette. The strokes read as largely uniform, with wedge-like terminals and occasional notched joins that give several letters a segmented, stencil-adjacent feel without fully breaking forms apart. Counters are small and often squared-off (notably in O, D, P, Q), while diagonals and pointed vertices (V, W, Y, X) emphasize a hard-edged rhythm. Lowercase echoes the uppercase construction with simplified, geometric forms and minimal curvature, keeping a consistent, rigid texture across text.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and strong typographic locks where the angular construction can read as a deliberate style. It can also work well for labels, wayfinding, and packaging accents that benefit from an industrial or technical voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is mechanical and engineered, suggesting signage, machinery, and technical labeling. Its sharp geometry and compressed presence add a commanding, slightly futuristic edge, while the blocky construction also nods to retro arcade and utilitarian industrial aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, geometric voice through hard angles, uniform stroke weight, and compact proportions, prioritizing impact and a constructed, machine-made look over neutral text readability.
Spacing and sidebearings appear tight in running text, producing a dense, high-impact color. The numerals follow the same angular logic, with straight-sided forms and distinctive cut corners that keep figures visually consistent with the alphabet.
