A sharply angular display sans built from chunky, straight strokes and clipped corners, with an overall octagonal, machined geometry. Curves are largely replaced by faceted turns, and many forms use small cut-ins and notches that create a subtly stencil-like construction. Counters are tight and rectangular, and joins are hard and abrupt, producing a dense, high-contrast silhouette against the page. The lowercase echoes the uppercase structure closely, with squarish bowls and a single-storey “a,” and the numerals follow the same modular, cut-corner logic for a consistent, grid-driven texture.
Best suited to headlines, logotypes, posters, and short bursts of copy where a hard-edged, tech-forward voice is desired. It can also work for game UI, album/film titles, and event branding that wants an arcade or cyber-industrial aesthetic, especially when paired with simpler text faces for body copy.
The tone is assertive and mechanical, evoking sci‑fi interfaces, arcade cabinets, and industrial labeling. Its sharp corners and compact apertures give it a tense, tactical feel that reads as futuristic and slightly aggressive rather than friendly or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a modular, engineered look: a sans that feels constructed from straight segments with deliberately clipped corners and small incisions, prioritizing impact and a futuristic visual signature over conventional text readability.
Because many letters share similar block structures and narrow internal openings, the face creates strong patterning in text and benefits from generous tracking and clear size hierarchy. The distinctive notches and faceting are most effective at display sizes where the interior cuts remain legible.
