This typeface is built from chunky, monoline strokes with sharply cut corners and frequent diagonal chamfers, producing an overall faceted, polygonal silhouette. Curves are largely suppressed in favor of straight segments and notched joins, giving rounds like O/Q a squarish, octagonal feel. Counters are tight and often angular, terminals end in flat or bevelled cuts, and the rhythm is compact with a generally condensed stance. Lowercase forms keep the same rigid construction and include distinctive angular bowls and spurs, while numerals follow the same clipped, geometric logic for a consistent, engineered texture.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and short UI or game titles where its angular construction can carry personality at larger sizes. It can also work for labels and signage that benefit from a sturdy, fabricated look, while extended paragraph text may feel heavy and visually busy.
The tone reads mechanical and assertive, with a tech-forward, industrial flavor that also nods to retro arcade and sci‑fi display lettering. Its hard edges and stencil-like cut-ins suggest utilitarian signage and fabricated materials, projecting strength and precision rather than softness or warmth.
The design intention appears to be a geometric, industrial display sans that prioritizes a distinctive faceted silhouette and strong presence. By replacing curves with chamfers and notches, it aims to deliver a futuristic/constructed aesthetic that remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The design relies heavily on repeated chamfer motifs across glyphs, which creates a strong internal consistency and a recognizable “cut metal” pattern in text. In longer lines the dense, blocky forms can create a pronounced texture, making spacing and size choices important for comfortable reading.
