A compact, heavy display sans built from straight segments and sharply chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Strokes stay essentially uniform, creating a sturdy, poster-like texture with tight interior counters and squared terminals. The construction leans on verticals and hard diagonals, giving letters a mechanical rhythm; round forms like O/C are rendered as clipped rectangles with angled shoulders. Proportions are condensed overall, with uppercase forms tall and blocky and lowercase simplified to match the same rigid geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, cover art, signage, branding marks, and game or film titles. It can also work for UI labels or packaging callouts where a hard-edged, technical tone is desired, while extended body text may feel dense due to the compact counters.
The font conveys a rugged, machine-made attitude with a retro-digital edge. Its sharp cuts and dense weight feel assertive and utilitarian, evoking arcade title screens, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a narrow footprint while projecting a geometric, faceted voice. By standardizing strokes and using chamfered corners throughout, it prioritizes a consistent, industrial silhouette over smooth curves for a distinctive display character.
The faceting is consistent across the set, including numerals, which adopt the same squared, cut-corner logic for strong coherence. Because counters are small and joins are abrupt, the design reads best when given room and size, where its distinctive silhouette can remain clear.
