A heavy, geometric display face built from straight, monoline strokes and crisp 45° chamfered corners. Letterforms are largely rectangular with squared counters and frequent cut-ins that create a stencil-like, notched silhouette, giving many glyphs an engineered, modular feel. Curves are minimized or fully angularized (e.g., round shapes resolve into octagonal forms), and interior apertures tend to be tight and boxy, producing a dense color and strong horizontal rhythm in text. The lowercase follows the same construction as the caps, with simplified, architectural forms and compact counters.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, titling, logos, and packaging where its angular construction can be a primary visual motif. It also fits interface-style graphics for games or tech-themed layouts, and bold wordmarks that want a rugged, engineered presence.
The overall tone is hard-edged and machine-made, evoking arcade and sci-fi interfaces, industrial labeling, and techno branding. Its sharp notches and faceted geometry read as assertive and synthetic, with a slightly militaristic, warning-sign energy.
The design appears intended to translate a faceted, industrial geometry into a readable sans display style, prioritizing impact and a strong, modular identity over softness or text neutrality. The repeated chamfers and notched details suggest a deliberate effort to create a distinctive techno/arcade signature that remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The distinctive corner chamfers and internal cutouts become more pronounced at smaller sizes, where the dark mass and tight spacing can dominate; it benefits from generous tracking and clear contrast with the background. Numerals and key letters share consistent angular logic, reinforcing a cohesive, modular system.
