This typeface uses crisp, angular construction with squared counters and frequent chamfered corners, producing an octagonal, machined look. Strokes stay visually consistent in thickness, while terminals flare into sharp wedge-like serifs and notches that create a distinctive, cut-metal rhythm. The letterforms are wide and blocky with tight interior geometry, and the overall spacing reads compact and graphic at display sizes. Numerals follow the same squared, segmented logic, reinforcing a systematic, engineered texture.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, logos, and brand marks where its angular detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging, game titles, and themed event graphics that benefit from a mechanical, retro-tech voice.
The tone is bold and technical, evoking retro-futuristic and industrial cues. Its sharp serifs and carved detailing give it a slightly aggressive, armored feel that reads more like signage or titling than quiet book typography.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif cues with a geometric, engineered construction, prioritizing distinctive silhouette and thematic flavor over neutral readability in long passages.
The sample text shows strong horizontal emphasis and a pronounced, stylized baseline presence from the flared terminals. The intricate corner cuts and internal angles can create visual noise in smaller sizes, but add character and pattern in headlines and short phrases.
