A sharply faceted display face built from straight strokes and clipped, polygonal curves. Many rounds are octagonalized and several counters collapse into solid forms, creating bold black blocks punctuated by thin, high-contrast strokes. Stroke endings feel sliced and mechanical, with occasional notches and irregular joins that introduce a distressed, hand-cut cadence. Overall spacing and letterfit are compact and visually dense, with a mix of heavy fills and narrow linear elements that gives the alphabet an intentionally uneven rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, editorial headlines, album or event graphics, and title treatments where its dense silhouettes and angular detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for tech-themed interfaces or branding moments when used at larger sizes with ample spacing and strong contrast against the background.
The tone is industrial and techno-forward, with a glitchy, deconstructed edge that reads as futuristic and slightly abrasive. Its solid masses and sharp corners project toughness and utility, while the irregularities add an experimental, DIY energy.
The font appears designed to prioritize silhouette and texture over conventional readability, combining collapsed interiors with chiseled geometry to create a distinctive, machine-cut display voice. The intentional irregularities suggest a goal of adding grit and motion to an otherwise rigid, constructed framework.
The design leans on extreme counter reduction in several letters (notably rounded forms), which increases impact but can reduce legibility at small sizes. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with angular construction and flattened curves that match the overall mechanical aesthetic.
