A stylized sans display built from clean, geometric letterforms that are repeatedly interrupted by sharp cut-ins and wedge-like voids. Many strokes appear partially removed or offset, creating discontinuous contours and a consistent carved/eroded rhythm across the alphabet. Curves are simplified into bold arcs with missing sections, while straight strokes end in crisp, angular terminals; diagonals often show narrow slashes that read like directional nicks. The overall drawing stays lightweight but visually active due to the repeated internal breaks and occasional offset shadow-like fragments.
Best suited for large-scale display use where the cut-outs and shadowed offsets can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, album/cover art, and gaming or sci‑fi themed graphics. Short phrases and titles hold up well, while long paragraphs may feel intentionally noisy due to the segmented construction.
The tone feels synthetic and high-energy, like a logo system meant to suggest motion, interference, or digital distortion. Its sliced shapes and intermittent gaps give it an edgy, tech-forward attitude with a playful, game-like aggressiveness rather than a quiet minimalism.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a straightforward geometric sans through systematic slicing and offset fragments, adding a shadowed, hollowed character without changing the basic proportions. The goal seems to be a distinctive, high-impact display voice that conveys speed, disruption, and contemporary tech styling.
In text settings the frequent interruptions can cause words to sparkle and fragment, producing strong texture and a pronounced rhythm that is more about pattern than continuous reading. Numerals and capitals carry the effect clearly, and the design remains coherent because the cut-out logic repeats predictably from glyph to glyph.
