A heavy, block-built display face with strongly chamfered corners and octagonal geometry throughout. Strokes are monolinear and tightly enclosed, with many counters reduced to minimal slits or fully collapsed, creating a solid, cut-out silhouette. The letterforms feel squared and mechanical, with abrupt terminals, hard joins, and a consistent system of notches and clipped curves that replaces traditional rounds. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with a tall x-height and short extenders that keep mixed-case text visually dense.
Best suited to bold display applications such as posters, album or game titles, esports and sports branding, product packaging, and high-impact signage. It also works well for short labels and UI moments that need an industrial, hardware-like voice, but is less appropriate for extended reading due to its dense, closed-in forms.
The overall tone is industrial and utilitarian, evoking stamped metal, machine labeling, and tactical marking. Its rigid geometry and near-solid interiors give it a forceful, no-nonsense presence with a retro tech and arcade-like edge.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual mass with a consistent system of clipped corners and collapsed openings, creating a rugged, fabricated look reminiscent of stenciled or machined lettering. The intent is clearly attention-grabbing display typography with a distinctive, angular signature.
The design reads best at larger sizes where the small interior gaps and notches remain clear; in smaller settings the solid construction can cause characters to visually merge. Numerals follow the same chamfered, blocky logic, supporting cohesive headline and signage work.
