A heavy, rectilinear sans built from squared-off strokes and tight right angles. Counters and joins are carved with small notches and wedge-like cut-ins that create a subtly stencil-like, mechanical construction without breaking the forms into separate pieces. The terminals are predominantly flat and boxy, with occasional diagonal chamfers on bowls and diagonals (notably in letters like S, V, and X) that add rhythm and direction. Overall spacing is compact and the shapes feel engineered and modular, reading crisply at display sizes where the internal cut geometry remains clear.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its geometric carving and block rhythm can be appreciated—posters, branding marks, product labels, packaging, and bold UI/overlay titles in tech or industrial contexts. It can work for brief all-caps or mixed-case settings, but the dense, rigid forms favor display use over long-form reading.
The font conveys an industrial, techno tone with a retro-digital edge. Its blocky silhouettes and carved details feel functional and authoritative, suggesting machinery, signage, and fabricated materials rather than soft or literary typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fabricated, machine-cut aesthetic. By combining monolinear, squared geometry with consistent internal notching, it aims to feel both modular and distinctive—recognizable in logos and attention-grabbing titling.
Distinctive notches appear in both uppercase and lowercase, giving even simple stems a customized profile. The lowercase maintains a strong presence—nearly as weighty and rigid as the uppercase—supporting a uniform, poster-like texture. Numerals follow the same squared construction, with angular turns and minimal curvature for a consistent set.
