A geometric display face built from heavy, blocky strokes with pronounced chamfered corners and hard, angular joins. Many glyphs incorporate consistent internal knockouts and parallel in-cuts that read like carved channels, giving a hollowed, stencil-adjacent construction. Counters tend to be compact and often octagonal or squared-off, while terminals are frequently clipped into wedges or arrow-like points. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the set, and the overall rhythm is driven by sharp diagonals and repeated cutout motifs rather than conventional curves.
Best suited to large sizes where the carved interior details remain clear—headlines, posters, title cards, esports or gaming graphics, and sci-fi or tech-themed interface mockups. It can also work for compact wordmarks when letterspacing is tuned to prevent the cutouts from visually merging.
The cut-in channels and faceted silhouettes create a high-energy, machine-made tone that feels futuristic and combative. Its styling suggests sci-fi interfaces, racing or combat aesthetics, and a retro arcade sensibility where letters look engineered rather than written.
The design appears intended to deliver an engineered, armored look through faceted outlines and systematic internal cutouts, balancing recognizability with a distinctive techno identity. The variable widths and aggressive terminals reinforce a display-first personality aimed at impact and branding rather than long-form reading.
In text, the repeated interior slits can create strong horizontal striping and busy texture, especially where letters cluster. Distinctive forms like the octagonal O/0 and the sharply carved diagonals in V/W/X/Y become prominent signature shapes, while simpler letters (such as E/F/L/T) rely on the internal knockout details to stay consistent with the system.
