A geometric, display-oriented sans with broad proportions and sharply chamfered corners throughout, giving many forms an octagonal, cut-metal silhouette. Strokes are heavy and tightly constructed, with consistent interior inline carving that creates a crisp, engraved look and boosts edge definition. Curves are largely minimized in favor of straight segments and clipped terminals; counters tend toward boxy or rounded-rectangle shapes. Spacing and widths vary noticeably by glyph, producing a rhythmic, modular texture that stays coherent through repeated use of the same bevel-and-inline motif.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where the inline carving and faceted corners can be appreciated—headlines, branding marks, poster titles, game titles, and sci‑fi or tech-themed interface graphics. It also works well for numbers in scoreboard-style treatments or product/vehicle labeling where a machined aesthetic is desired.
The overall tone reads as sci-fi and industrial—like stenciled plating, circuitry, or a HUD interface—while the sharp facets add a slightly aggressive, high-energy feel. The inline detailing evokes engraving and machinery, pushing the font toward a retro-futurist, arcade-technical vibe.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, engineered display voice: wide, angular letterforms paired with an engraved inline detail to suggest technology, hardware, and retro-futuristic styling while maintaining clear, structured silhouettes.
Distinctive corner chamfers and the carved inner line are the dominant identity cues, remaining visible even in smaller text samples. The design favors straight-sided geometry and squared joins, creating a mechanical regularity that feels engineered rather than handwritten or organic.
