A compact, all-caps–friendly sans with heavy, rectangular strokes and sharply chamfered corners throughout. Forms are built from straight segments with minimal curves, producing squared bowls, notched joins, and wedge-like terminals that give many letters a cut, chiseled silhouette. Counters are small and geometric, and the overall rhythm is tight with strong vertical emphasis and occasional stepped details on horizontals and diagonals. Lowercase echoes the uppercase construction, staying rigid and architectural with simplified, boxy shapes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headers, product marks, and packaging where the blocky geometry can read as a deliberate style. It also fits signage or display applications that benefit from a rigid, technical look, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is forceful and mechanical, with a utilitarian, sign-painted feel that reads as industrial and slightly militaristic. Its angular cuts and dense color create a bold, no-nonsense voice that can also skew retro or arcade-like depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a compact footprint while emphasizing an engineered, angular construction. The consistent chamfered cuts and squared counters suggest a deliberate move toward a hard-edged, industrial display voice rather than neutral body typography.
At text sizes the tight interior spaces and heavy joins can reduce clarity, while at larger sizes the distinctive notches and chamfers become a defining graphic feature. Numerals and caps maintain consistent, squared proportions that reinforce a sturdy, engineered aesthetic.
