A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Counters and bowls tend toward octagonal or rectangular forms, with frequent diagonal chamfers at terminals and joins. The rhythm is vertical and disciplined, with tall lowercase proportions and a consistent, blocky stroke presence that reads cleanly in all-caps. Numerals and punctuation follow the same hard-edged geometry, giving the set a unified, engineered silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a sharp, technical texture is desirable. It also works well for game UI, title screens, and packaging that wants a rugged, retro-industrial voice, especially in short lines or all-caps settings.
The overall tone feels industrial and machined, with a retro-digital edge reminiscent of arcade, sci‑fi, or utilitarian signage. Its sharp corners and sturdy mass project firmness and urgency, making text feel declarative rather than conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient display voice using a strict straight-line construction, trading smooth curves for faceted geometry to achieve a machined, emblematic look.
Faceting is applied consistently across rounds (C, O, S) and diagonals (K, R, X), creating a coherent ‘cut metal’ aesthetic. The design favors flat terminals and squared shoulders, producing strong word shapes and clear letter separation at display sizes.
