A sharply geometric sans built from heavy, straight strokes with frequent chamfered corners and polygonal counters. Curves are largely suppressed in favor of squared or faceted forms, giving letters a cut-from-sheet look. Many joins and terminals feel notched or segmented, and several glyphs show intentional irregularities in stroke continuity that read as pseudo-stencil breaks rather than smooth transitions. The rhythm is compact and blocky, with squared bowls (e.g., O/0) and a generally rigid, mechanical construction across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best used at display sizes where the chamfers, notches, and polygonal counters can read clearly—such as headlines, posters, logos, game/tech UI accents, and bold packaging callouts. In longer text, its dense, angular texture can become visually insistent, so it works better for short bursts than extended reading.
The overall tone is assertive and machine-made, evoking industrial labeling, retro arcade interfaces, and sci‑fi display typography. Its angular cuts and segmented details add a slightly aggressive, hardened character, more suited to impact than neutrality.
The design appears intended to translate a mechanical, fabricated aesthetic into a sans structure—prioritizing hard edges, modular geometry, and a distinctive, cut-metal silhouette over conventional smoothness or humanist proportions.
Lowercase follows the same architectural logic as the caps, with simplified, rectilinear shapes that keep the texture consistent in mixed-case settings. Numerals are similarly faceted and boxy, maintaining the same cut-corner motif for a cohesive, engineered feel.
