A heavy, block-built sans with squared, octagonal outlines and sharply chamfered corners. Strokes are monolinear and tightly constructed, with rectangular counters and frequent notches that give letters a cut-and-assembled feel. Uppercase forms are compact and engineered, while lowercase echoes the same geometry with single-storey a and g and angular joins. Numerals are similarly boxy and modular, creating a consistent, rigid rhythm across text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and short emphatic statements where its geometric detailing can be appreciated. It also fits UI headers, game/arcade themed interfaces, and packaging or labels that benefit from a tough, modular look. For extended reading, its dense texture and tight counters suggest using generous size and spacing.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and machine-made, evoking digital hardware, industrial labeling, and arcade-era display typography. Its angular cut-ins and squared apertures add an assertive, slightly aggressive voice that reads as technical and futuristic rather than friendly.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a modular, industrial geometry into a bold display voice, prioritizing strong silhouettes, uniform stroke behavior, and a distinctly constructed aesthetic for high-impact typography.
The design relies on straight segments and deliberate corner cuts, producing strong silhouette recognition at large sizes. The internal spaces are often rectangular and relatively tight, which reinforces the dense, compressed texture in multi-line settings.
