A heavy, all-caps–leaning display face built from solid, faceted blocks with aggressively cut corners and wedge-like notches. Counters and bowls are frequently reduced or collapsed into small slits, giving many letters a near-silhouette construction and making negative space feel carved rather than drawn. Strokes are monolinear in feel, with hard, geometric terminals and a strong preference for straight segments over curves; the few curved forms read as clipped arcs. Spacing appears tight and the rhythm is driven by repeating diagonals and bite-shaped cutouts that create a jagged texture across words.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, cover art, title cards, branding marks, and game/tech-themed interfaces. It performs especially well when set large, where the carved details and angular rhythm read clearly and add a strong graphic presence.
The overall tone is assertive and engineered, with a rugged, machined character that reads as dystopian or sci‑fi. Its sharp incisions and dense black massing convey impact and urgency, evoking arcade/game titles, warning labels, and industrial signage.
The design appears intended to maximize visual punch through dense, solid forms while injecting personality via consistent diagonal cutaways and collapsed interiors. It prioritizes a distinctive, icon-like wordshape over conventional readability, aiming for a bold, futuristic display voice.
Legibility is intentionally stylized: several glyphs rely on distinctive corner cuts and minimal apertures to differentiate forms, which can make longer passages feel busy at small sizes. In larger settings, the recurring angled “chips” and slabby silhouettes become a cohesive graphic pattern.
