A heavy, angular display face built from straight strokes and sharp chamfered corners, giving many glyphs an octagonal, cut-metal silhouette. Counters tend to be compact and geometric, with distinctive notched or pinched interior shapes in round letters, while terminals often end in hard, flat cuts rather than curves. The lowercase is more compact and blocky than the uppercase, with simplified bowls and frequent corner cuts that keep a consistent faceted rhythm across the set. Overall spacing and widths vary by letter, reinforcing a constructed, decorative feel rather than a strictly modular text font.
Best suited to headlines, posters, event flyers, and logo-style wordmarks where the angular details can read clearly at larger sizes. It also fits game UI, arcade or scoreboard-inspired graphics, and short labels or packaging callouts that benefit from a tough, mechanical display voice.
The tone is forceful and mechanical, evoking arcade-era scoring, industrial signage, and dark, gothic-leaning poster typography. Its sharp facets and clipped corners create a tough, slightly menacing energy that reads as intentional and stylized rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to translate gothic and industrial cues into a simplified, faceted construction, emphasizing sharp corners, clipped curves, and distinctive interior notches for instant recognizability. It prioritizes character and impact over continuous-text neutrality, aiming for a memorable, one-off display texture.
Diagonal forms (like V/W/X/Y) are rendered with broad, straight strokes that keep the faceted theme, while curves are largely implied through chamfers and notches. The numerals follow the same cut-corner geometry, supporting use in short, high-contrast callouts where the distinctive interior shapes can be appreciated.
