A heavy, angular display face built from chunky polygonal strokes with pronounced chamfered corners and frequent diagonal cuts. Counters are largely collapsed, leaving minimal interior negative space and creating solid, emblem-like silhouettes. The forms show purposeful notches and wedge-shaped cut-ins that act like ink traps or stencil breaks, giving letters a fragmented, machined rhythm. Widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, and curves are consistently translated into facets rather than smooth arcs.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, game or film titles, and packaging where the solid shapes can read as graphic blocks. It works especially well when ample size and spacing allow the internal cuts and notches to remain visible.
The overall tone is tough and mechanical, evoking stamped metal, sci‑fi interfaces, and arcade-era title lettering. Its sharp geometry and filled-in interiors make it feel assertive and slightly cryptic, with a rugged, industrial attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly graphic, solid display voice by compressing counters and carving letters into faceted, chamfered silhouettes. The deliberate notches and diagonal cuts suggest an aim toward a machined, stencil-adjacent aesthetic optimized for impactful titles rather than extended reading.
At text sizes the dense interiors and tight apertures can reduce character differentiation, while at larger sizes the distinctive cuts and chamfers become the main personality feature. Numerals and capitals maintain the same faceted construction, supporting a cohesive, poster-first look.
