A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared counters, sharp interior corners, and mostly straight strokes that form compact, modular silhouettes. The design leans on rectangular cut-ins and notches—especially visible in E, S, and several lowercase forms—creating a slightly “carved” or stencil-adjacent feel without breaking the letterforms apart. Uppercase shapes are rigid and monolithic, while the lowercase maintains the same hard-edged geometry with simplified bowls and shoulders. Spacing appears fairly tight in text, and the overall rhythm is driven by strong verticals and flat terminals rather than curves.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, title cards, logos, and bold labels. It can also work for game interfaces or display text where a retro-tech, industrial tone is desired, and where generous size can preserve the interior cut details.
The font reads as assertive and game-like, evoking retro arcade UI, pixel-era signage, and bold industrial labeling. Its angular cuts add a mischievous, slightly aggressive energy that feels mechanical and graphic rather than friendly or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a modular, carved geometry—prioritizing graphic impact and a distinctive, game/industrial voice over conventional text readability.
The squared counters and minimal curves make the texture very dark and uniform at smaller sizes, while the distinctive notches become more characterful as size increases. Numerals match the same rectilinear construction, reinforcing a consistent, system-like aesthetic across letters and figures.
