A heavy, wide serif with rounded, squared-off counters and softened corners. Strokes are mostly monolinear with subtle modulation, and the joins and terminals often break into small wedges or flared points that read like etched or cut forms. The letterforms lean on geometric construction—circular O/Q, broad bowls, and compact internal counters—while small notches and triangular cut-ins create a crisp, engineered rhythm. Lowercase forms are large and sturdy, with simplified details and a squat, high-impact texture; numerals follow the same wide, sculpted logic with bold, stable silhouettes.
Best suited for display settings where its sculpted terminals and wide stance can read clearly—headlines, poster typography, entertainment or game titles, brand marks, and packaging callouts. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes when given generous tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and technological, combining classical serif cues with industrial cutouts and streamlined geometry. It suggests sci-fi titles, arcade-era styling, and dramatic, cinematic branding rather than quiet book typography.
The design appears intended to fuse conventional serif structure with a futuristic, machined surface treatment, creating a bold display face that feels both familiar and novel. Its wide proportions and distinctive notching prioritize immediate impact and stylized texture over neutral, long-form readability.
In continuous text the font produces strong horizontal emphasis and dark massing, with distinctive “carved” highlights at terminals and joins that become a defining texture. The design’s notches and flares add character at large sizes, but can visually crowd in tighter settings or smaller sizes due to the dense counters and heavy stroke weight.
