A heavy, block-built sans with squared geometry and sharply cut corners. Strokes stay largely monolinear but show subtle tapering and irregularity from angled terminals and small notches, giving a chiseled, constructed feel rather than purely geometric precision. Counters are tight and often rectangular, with frequent interior cut-outs that read like stencil breaks or ink-trap-like bites. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across letters, while the lowercase maintains a tall, sturdy structure that keeps the overall texture dense and high-impact.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, game or app UI titles, and packaging where a strong, angular voice is desired. It performs especially well at medium-to-large sizes, where the cut-in details and compact counters remain clear and contribute to the overall texture.
The design communicates a bold, mechanical attitude with a playful edge—part industrial signage, part arcade/sci‑fi display. Its chunky silhouettes and cut-in details feel assertive and energetic, leaning toward a rugged, handcrafted “built from blocks” aesthetic rather than sleek minimalism.
The font appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact, rectangular forms and aggressive corner cuts, creating a distinctive modular voice for attention-grabbing display typography. Its variable-looking widths and chiseled terminals suggest a deliberate move away from strict geometric neutrality toward a more characterful, constructed style.
The cap forms are particularly imposing and squared, while the lowercase echoes the same modular construction for consistent tone in mixed-case settings. The numerals follow the same cut-corner language, maintaining strong legibility at larger sizes where the interior notches and tight counters can be appreciated.
