A heavy, faceted display sans built from sharp planar cuts rather than curves. Letterforms read as compact, armored blocks with octagonal silhouettes, chamfered corners, and frequent triangular notches that create a fractured, mechanical rhythm. Counters are small and mostly rectangular, with many glyphs using punched apertures instead of open bowls, giving a dense, high-ink color across lines. Terminals and joins are abrupt and geometric, and the overall spacing feels tight, reinforcing the solid, monolithic texture in text.
Best suited to display applications where impact matters: posters, headlines, game titles and UI callouts, team or event branding, and bold logo wordmarks. It performs especially well in high-contrast settings and large sizes where the faceted detailing is clearly visible.
The font projects a tough, engineered tone—more machine-made than humanist. Its chiseled geometry suggests sci‑fi hardware, arcade aesthetics, and rugged industrial signage, with an intentionally confrontational presence at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to translate a hard-edged, polygonal construction into a readable sans, prioritizing visual force and a mechanical, chiseled personality over neutral text utility. Its consistent chamfers and notched strokes suggest a deliberate effort to evoke armor plating or milled components in a typographic form.
Distinctive cut-ins and stepped diagonals add texture and help differentiate shapes, though the small counters and heavy mass can reduce clarity when set small or tightly tracked. Numerals and capitals share the same angular construction, producing a consistent, emblem-like look suitable for short bursts of text.
