A sharply geometric sans with segmented, near-rectilinear letterforms and dramatic thick–thin behavior. Most strokes read as heavy vertical slabs paired with hairline horizontals and diagonal connectors, creating a cut-and-assembled rhythm across the alphabet. Corners are crisp and squared, counters are often rectangular, and several glyphs feature intentional breaks or narrow joints that give a stencil-like, modular construction. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, and diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X, Y) are frequently reduced to fine, blade-like lines that heighten the mechanical feel.
Best suited to display settings where its sharp contrast and segmented construction can be appreciated—posters, titles, editorial headlines, and identity work with a tech or industrial bent. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging accents, especially at larger sizes where the hairline connectors remain clear.
The overall tone is high-impact and technical, with a futuristic, machine-made character. Its fragmented joins and razor-thin connectors add tension and attitude, reading as experimental and slightly aggressive rather than neutral or friendly.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through a modular, deconstructed lens: heavy vertical masses balanced by minimal cross-strokes and needle-thin diagonals. The goal seems to be a distinctive, high-impact texture that signals technology, experimentation, and contemporary edge.
In text, the design produces a striking pattern of vertical pillars and delicate linking strokes, which can create a shimmering, barcode-like texture at larger sizes. The thin connectors and occasional gaps become prominent stylistic signatures, emphasizing display use over continuous, low-stress reading.
