A geometric, angular sans with monolinear strokes and subtly irregular, hand-cut edges. Letterforms are constructed from straight segments with frequent diagonal cuts, producing faceted corners and occasional small notches that keep the silhouettes lively. Counters are largely rectangular or trapezoidal, and many glyphs feel modular, as if built from a limited set of bar-like components. Spacing and proportions vary noticeably between characters, giving the font a slightly uneven rhythm while remaining broadly consistent in stroke weight and overall color.
Best suited to display settings such as game UI elements, sci‑fi or cyberpunk titles, posters, and branding marks that want a constructed, mechanical voice. It can work well for short headlines, labels, and interface-style callouts where its angular rhythm becomes a feature. For long-form text, its variable rhythm and sharp geometry are likely to feel busy, so it’s more effective in controlled, high-contrast applications.
The overall tone reads as techno and game-like, with a distinctly futuristic, mechanical flavor. Its sharp, cut-metal geometry suggests digital interfaces, sci‑fi signage, or retro arcade aesthetics rather than conventional editorial typography. The slight wobble and asymmetry add an edgy, DIY engineered feel—more hacked hardware than polished corporate modernism.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a sans skeleton through a modular, straight-edge construction, emphasizing diagonally sliced terminals and squared counters to evoke a futuristic/industrial mood. It prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and a distinctive, fabricated texture over classical typographic smoothness.
Diagonal terminals and stepped joins create strong directional energy, especially in letters like K, V, W, X, and Z. The numerals follow the same rectilinear logic, leaning toward segmented-display silhouettes while staying custom and angular. At smaller sizes the internal corners and tight counters may fill in visually, so the design benefits from generous size and clear contrast with the background.
