A heavy, extended display face built from rounded-rectangle bowls and flat horizontal terminals, overlaid with sharp, blade-like incisions. Many glyphs feature repeated notches and slashed cut-ins that create a fractured, almost stencil-like silhouette while keeping the main strokes solid and continuous. Counters tend to be squarish and compressed, curves are simplified into smooth rectangular arcs, and diagonals (as in V/W/X/Y) are crisp and mechanical. The overall rhythm is compact and blocky, with consistent cut motifs that read like deliberate “glitches” along the edges.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, title cards, game or esports graphics, and branding that wants an edgy tech feel. It can work for logos and large typographic treatments where the incision details remain legible and contribute to the texture.
The tone is sci‑fi and combative, mixing arcade-era display energy with a cyber/glitch aesthetic. The sliced details add tension and motion, making the face feel engineered, weaponized, and slightly chaotic rather than friendly or neutral.
The design appears intended to turn a straightforward geometric, extended sans structure into a characterful display by introducing consistent slash-and-notch interventions. Those cuts create a signature texture that reads as digital interference or stylized damage while preserving a strong, blocky base for impact.
The distinctive edge slashes are frequent enough to define the texture of text blocks, especially in all-caps settings. Numerals follow the same squared, segmented logic, maintaining the same cutout language across the set.
