A heavy, angular display sans built from flat planes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with sharp facets and clipped diagonals. Strokes are robust and mostly monoline in feel, with crisp interior counters and frequent notch-like cut-ins that create a carved, geometric rhythm. The forms favor squared bowls and straight terminals; diagonals are steep and deliberate, giving letters a tightly engineered presence. Numerals and capitals read as compact blocks with distinctive corner breaks, while lowercase maintains the same faceted construction for a consistent texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and short branding statements where its faceted construction can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits labels, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage that benefit from a bold, angular voice, especially in high-contrast, single-color applications.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a machined, hard-surface character that feels both retro and assertive. Its sharp planes and cut corners suggest signage, metalwork, or game/genre aesthetics where impact and attitude matter more than softness.
The design appears intended to translate a carved, hard-edged look into a bold sans system, using chamfers and planar cuts to imply depth and fabrication while staying typographically consistent. It prioritizes impact and a distinctive surface treatment over neutral text transparency.
In running text the strong verticals and repeated corner chamfers create a pronounced patterning; distinctive notches and clipped joints help differentiate shapes but also increase visual busyness at small sizes. The design’s personality comes through most clearly in large settings where the faceting and internal cut-ins remain legible.
