A blocky, angular sans with squarish counters and straight-sided construction, softened by slightly irregular, hand-cut edges. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with frequent diagonal cuts at terminals and corners that create a chiseled, stenciled feel without true stencil breaks. Curves are minimized; round forms like O and 0 read as squared rectangles with tight inner apertures, and many letters lean on hard right angles and notches to define their shapes. Spacing and sidebearings feel intentionally uneven, producing a lively, variable rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, headlines, branding marks, game or tech-themed graphics, packaging, and album or event titles. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes when ample size and spacing are available, but it is less appropriate for long-form reading.
The face conveys a gritty, industrial energy with a distinct retro-digital flavor—somewhere between arcade title lettering and hand-cut signage. Its slightly rough geometry adds attitude and immediacy, keeping the tone bold and attention-seeking rather than refined or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact, squared letterforms and hard-edged geometry, while introducing a handmade irregularity to avoid a sterile digital feel. It prioritizes recognizability and character over neutrality, aiming for a distinctive, energetic voice in display typography.
Legibility is strongest at medium-to-large sizes where the angular detailing and squared counters remain clear; at smaller sizes the tight apertures and dense stroke weight can make forms close up. The design’s notches and diagonal terminals create a consistent visual motif that reads well in headlines and short bursts of text.
