A heavy, block-built display face with aggressively chamfered corners and octagonal silhouettes. Strokes are mostly monolinear with a subtly notched, cut-metal feeling created by repeated angled terminals and internal bite marks. Counters are frequently minimized or collapsed, and many joins are fused, producing dense, stencil-like masses that read as solid shapes rather than traditional letterforms. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, creating a slightly uneven rhythm that emphasizes the constructed, modular geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, logos, and bold packaging where the chunky silhouettes and angular cuts can be read clearly. It also fits themed applications like arcade, sci‑fi, industrial, or action-oriented branding, and works particularly well when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone feels tough, mechanical, and game-like—evoking arcade cabinets, industrial signage, and hard-edged sci‑fi interfaces. Its dense fills and sharp cuts give it an assertive, confrontational voice that reads as bold and utilitarian rather than friendly or literary.
The design appears intended to maximize visual mass and silhouette punch while adding personality through repeated chamfers and notches. By collapsing many interior openings and leaning into geometric, cut-out construction, it prioritizes a tough display presence and a distinctive, machine-cut aesthetic over conventional text readability.
The distinctive chamfer system is applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and figures, which helps unify the set despite the intentionally irregular widths. At smaller sizes, the collapsed interior spaces can reduce character differentiation, while larger sizes showcase the angular detailing and strong silhouette identity.
