A sharp, geometric display face built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, with an overall octagonal construction. Counters tend to be rectangular and tightly enclosed, producing dense, compact interior spaces. The design uses consistent, blocky stroke widths with occasional cut-ins and notches that create a quasi-stencil feel and a strong, mechanical rhythm. Lowercase follows the same angular logic, with single-storey forms and simplified joins; numerals are similarly faceted and tightly proportioned for high-impact settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, and branding where a strong, angular personality is desired. It also fits game UI, sci‑fi or industrial themed graphics, album covers, and event titling where the faceted forms can serve as a key visual motif.
The tone is assertive and synthetic, blending arcade-era futurism with a hard, industrial edge. Its faceted silhouettes and clipped terminals read as energetic and slightly rebellious, giving text a distinctive “custom logo” presence even at short lengths.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual character through hard geometry and deliberate corner cuts, creating a distinctive, emblem-like texture in running words. The consistent faceting across caps, lowercase, and figures suggests a unified system aimed at bold display typography rather than neutral text setting.
Horizontal and vertical strokes dominate, while diagonals appear as steep, chopped facets rather than continuous slants. Spacing appears visually even in the sample text, but the angular details and small counters suggest it will read best when given breathing room and not set too small.
