A geometric display face built from bold, simplified forms that are repeatedly interrupted by diagonal cut-ins and crescent-like bite marks. Many strokes appear partially removed or offset, producing a consistent carved/relief rhythm and a shadowed, layered feel across both straights and curves. Corners tend to be crisp and angular, while bowls and rounds are tightened by sweeping internal cut-outs that keep counters open but stylized. Overall spacing reads compact and sturdy, with distinctive breaks that create a modular, engineered texture in words and headlines.
Best suited for large-size applications such as headlines, posters, title cards, esports/gaming graphics, and brand marks where the cut-out detailing and shadowed structure can be appreciated. It can also work for short UI labels or packaging callouts when used sparingly and with ample size/contrast.
The cut, notched construction gives the font a tough, clandestine tone—part stencil, part sci‑fi interface. Its shadowed, fragmented silhouettes suggest motion, machinery, and high-contrast signage, projecting a bold, slightly aggressive personality.
The design appears intended to merge a sturdy geometric base with deliberate voids and offset cuts to create a dramatic shadowed/stenciled impression. The goal is a high-impact display voice that feels engineered and tactical rather than neutral or text-oriented.
The most recognizable signature is the repeated diagonal “slash” motif that disrupts stems, crossbars, and curves in a uniform way, helping maintain cohesion across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. In longer text the effect becomes highly patterned, so the style reads best when the decorative interruptions are allowed to show clearly.
