A compact, block-built sans with heavy rectangular forms and sharp, chamfered corners. Strokes read as mostly monolinear at a glance but with noticeable internal modulation created by stepped cuts, notches, and occasional wedge-like joins, producing a contrasted, engineered feel. Counters are small and often squared, and many glyphs incorporate deliberate gaps or inset corners that hint at a stencil logic without fully separating strokes. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with narrow apertures and strong, columnar stems that keep word shapes dense and graphic.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where its dense, angular texture can read as a deliberate graphic statement. It also fits on-screen UI elements for games or tech-themed projects when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the internal cuts and small counters.
The font projects a hard-edged, mechanical tone—confident, forceful, and slightly futuristic. Its squared geometry and cut-in detailing evoke arcade-era display typography, industrial labeling, and tech interfaces, giving text a punchy, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact proportions and a sculpted, modular construction. The stepped cut-ins and squared counters add character and distinction while maintaining a straightforward sans framework for bold, industrial display typography.
In the sample text, the heavy mass and reduced internal whitespace create strong texture at larger sizes, while the stepped detailing can start to merge at smaller sizes. Uppercase and lowercase share the same rigid construction language, reinforcing a consistent, utilitarian voice across headings and short lines.
