A compact, block-constructed sans with heavy, squared forms and aggressively chamfered corners. Strokes are built from flat horizontal and vertical segments with frequent 45° cuts, producing a faceted silhouette and a distinctly modular rhythm. Counters are small and often rectangular, with occasional slit-like apertures that reinforce a stencil-like, engineered feel. The lowercase stays tall and sturdy, with simplified bowls and minimal curvature, while overall spacing reads tight and dense for maximum ink coverage.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, event posters, game titles and HUD/UI labels, product packaging, and bold branding marks. It can work for brief blocks of text at larger sizes, but the dense interiors and compact apertures favor display use over long reading.
The tone is bold and mechanical, evoking arcade-era display lettering, industrial labeling, and hard-edged sci‑fi interfaces. Its angular cuts and compact counters give it an assertive, slightly militaristic energy that feels utilitarian rather than friendly.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact with minimal curves, using chamfered geometry to create a robust, modular aesthetic. The intent reads as a contemporary, industrial display sans that prioritizes strong texture, clear grid-based construction, and a distinctive retro-tech character.
The design leans on strong silhouettes more than interior detail, so letter recognition relies on distinctive notches, chamfers, and cut-ins. The texture becomes particularly dark in paragraph settings, where the small counters and tight shapes create a solid, uniform typographic color.
