A heavy, block-constructed display face with angular silhouettes and clipped corners. Strokes are chunky and geometric, but repeatedly interrupted by hard-edged cuts, offset notches, and horizontal “break” bands that create a fragmented, corrupted outline. Counters are compact and often polygonal, with flattened curves on letters like O/Q and a generally square-set rhythm. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with deliberately uneven edges and occasional protrusions that read like mechanical damage or signal interference.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, gaming titles, album or track artwork, event flyers, and punchy headline treatments where texture and attitude are more important than sustained readability. It can also work for logos or wordmarks when the distressed, corrupted aesthetic is a desired brand cue.
The overall tone feels noisy and disruptive—like a hacked interface, corrupted signage, or a distressed arcade title. Its sharp breaks and jittery interruptions add tension and motion, pushing it toward an edgy, tech-forward attitude rather than a clean geometric voice.
The design appears intended to fuse chunky geometric letterforms with intentional disruption—using repeated breaks and jagged cutouts to evoke glitch, damage, or interference. It prioritizes a striking, stylized texture and a bold silhouette over neutrality, aiming for instant visual character in display use.
The font maintains a strong silhouette at larger sizes, but the internal cuts and distressing reduce clarity as size decreases. The sample text shows a dense, high-impact color on the line, with the repeated horizontal break motif becoming the primary identifying feature and giving words a scanning or glitch-bar effect.
