A heavy, angular sans with compact, block-built letterforms and sharply cut counters. Strokes are consistently thick with flat terminals, while many internal spaces are carved out as small rectangular or trapezoidal apertures that read like punched or notched cutouts. The outlines show deliberate asymmetries and wedge-like incisions, creating an irregular rhythm across characters while keeping a strong, upright stance. Overall spacing and proportions feel modular and geometric, prioritizing silhouette impact over smooth curves.
Best suited for display applications where strong silhouettes and texture are desirable—headlines, posters, branding marks, game or sci-fi interfaces, packaging accents, and event graphics. It works particularly well in short phrases, titles, and typographic compositions where the angular cutouts can read as intentional detailing.
The font conveys a rugged, mechanical attitude with a distinctly game/tech flavor. Its cut-and-notched construction feels aggressive and energetic, suggesting machinery, hazard signage, or retro arcade typography rather than refined editorial tone. The dramatic shapes add a slightly rebellious, dystopian edge.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch through blocky geometry and distinctive cut-in details, creating a modular, industrial look that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Its goal seems to be a characterful, futuristic display sans that doubles as a bold graphic element.
The design’s small, angular counters and frequent notches can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, especially in dense text, but they enhance character and pattern at display scales. Numerals and capitals share the same carved geometry, helping headings and short bursts of text feel cohesive and graphic.
