A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared proportions and strongly rectangular counters. Many joins and corners are relieved by narrow vertical cuts and small notches that read like stencil bridges or ink-trap-style openings, creating a distinctive internal rhythm even at large sizes. Curves are minimized in favor of flattened bowls and boxy rounds, while terminals tend to be blunt and geometric. The lowercase echoes the uppercase with a tall, sturdy silhouette and simplified forms, and numerals follow the same modular, cut-in construction for a highly uniform, logo-like texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short display settings where maximum impact and a strong geometric voice are desired. It also fits logos, packaging, event graphics, and branding systems that lean industrial, gaming, or futuristic, especially when set large or with generous tracking.
The overall tone is tough, mechanical, and intentionally rigid, with a retro-tech flavor that can feel game-like or sci-fi. The cut-in details add a utilitarian, engineered attitude—more signage and machinery than editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display sans built from a modular, rectangular framework, using strategic cut-ins to keep forms recognizable while adding a signature, technical texture.
Because of the dense fill and tight apertures, small sizes and long passages can feel dark and compact; the design reads best when given room and when the distinctive interior cuts can be seen clearly.
