A squared, modular display face built from chunky strokes with rounded-rectangle corners and frequent chamfered cuts. Many glyphs show deliberate breaks, notches, and asymmetric joins that create a slightly irregular rhythm while keeping a consistent geometric framework. Counters are boxy and often tight, terminals are blunt, and diagonals (notably in K, N, V, W, X, Y) taper into sharp wedges that contrast with the otherwise rectilinear construction. The figures echo the same design language, with blocky forms and occasional cut-ins that read as engineered or stencil-like details.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as game titles, arcade-inspired interfaces, tech event posters, and distinctive brand marks. It can also work for packaging or merchandise where a futuristic, playful tone is desired, but its decorative interruptions make it less appropriate for long-form reading.
The overall tone is energetic and unconventional, blending a sci‑fi/arcade feel with a mischievous, experimental edge. Its quirky cutaways and uneven stress points make it feel hand-tuned and characterful rather than strictly industrial, giving text a lively, game-interface personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, futuristic wordmark look with intentionally odd, cutout-driven letterforms that stand apart from standard geometric sans styles. Its modular construction suggests a system-like approach, while the irregular notches add novelty and personality for display use.
At text sizes the distinctive notches and narrow apertures can become key identification features, so spacing and size choice will strongly affect clarity. The design’s repeated corner rounding and consistent stroke mass help unify the set even when individual letters introduce surprising internal cuts or open joins.
