A chunky, modular display face built from broad strokes and squared counters, with frequent chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette. The construction is largely rectilinear with abrupt joins, cut-in notches, and short horizontal spurs that add a mechanical rhythm. Lowercase forms echo the caps with simplified geometry and a notably large x-height, while numerals and punctuation keep the same squared, stencil-like logic. Overall spacing and widths vary per glyph, reinforcing a hand-cut, constructed feel rather than a strictly uniform system.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, logos, and branding where its angular construction can be a focal point. It also fits game/UI screens, tech-themed graphics, and packaging that benefits from a bold, mechanical, arcade-like voice. For longer reading, it works most effectively in larger sizes where the internal cut-ins and squared counters stay clear.
The tone reads as retro-futuristic and game-like, mixing rugged industrial shapes with an intentionally quirky, wobbly logic. Its sharp corners and cutaway details suggest machinery, sci‑fi interfaces, and arcade-era graphics, while the irregular quirks keep it from feeling purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through a constructed, octagonal geometry and distinctive cutaway details, evoking retro digital hardware and arcade signage. Its playful irregularities suggest a deliberate move toward character and novelty over neutral text performance.
Diagonal elements are used sparingly and tend to appear as clipped corners rather than flowing angles, which keeps word shapes boxy and high-impact. The face maintains strong silhouette consistency across cases, but the idiosyncratic terminals and interior cutouts give it an experimental, one-off personality.
