A sharply angular, faceted display face built from chunky polygonal strokes and hard-cut terminals. Many forms lean forward with a pronounced diagonal shear, creating a dynamic, skewed silhouette even in upright settings. Counters are tight and often rendered as sharp trapezoids or notches, while joins form crisp corners rather than curves. Spacing and widths feel irregular by design, giving the alphabet a restless rhythm; lowercase shares the same geometric, cut-metal construction as the caps.
Best suited for short, prominent text such as posters, game or esports branding, album/track artwork, event headers, and punchy logo wordmarks. It works well when you want an angular, high-impact texture and can give it enough size and contrast to preserve the internal cuts.
The overall tone reads high-energy and slightly chaotic—like a stylized sci‑fi or arcade title treatment. Its jagged cuts and forward slant suggest speed, impact, and a mischievous edge, while the uneven rhythm keeps it firmly in novelty territory.
The design appears intended to mimic cut or carved letterforms—like beveled metal, shards, or stylized techno graffiti—prioritizing attitude and motion over neutrality. The irregular widths and sharp geometry seem deliberately tuned to create a distinctive, one-off voice for display typography.
Legibility holds best at larger sizes where the interior cuts and angled apertures remain distinct; at small sizes, the tight counters and aggressive angles can cause characters to merge visually. Numerals and punctuation match the same beveled, slashed aesthetic, maintaining consistent texture across mixed content.
