A heavy, solid display design built from sharp, faceted silhouettes and triangular cut-ins. Most strokes resolve into hard corners, with wedge-shaped notches and abrupt diagonals creating a fractured, zig-zag rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are largely collapsed, so letter recognition relies on outer profiles, spikes, and strategic incisions rather than interior space. The overall texture is dense and graphic, with a mix of broad rectangular masses and knife-like points that makes spacing feel lively and irregular.
Best suited for short, prominent settings where shape and attitude matter more than continuous reading—such as posters, title treatments, game/film graphics, album artwork, and punchy branding marks. It works especially well when given generous size and spacing so the angular silhouettes and cut-in details remain clear.
The font projects a high-intensity, tech-forward mood—more weaponized than friendly. Its broken, shard-like forms suggest speed, impact, and a dystopian or arcade-science-fiction attitude, giving headlines a loud, confrontational voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through solid mass and aggressive geometry, using carved notches and faceted edges to create a distinctive, futuristic signature. It prioritizes graphic identity and thematic tone over conventional legibility, making it ideal as a novelty display face.
In text, the pointed terminals and frequent triangular apertures create strong directional movement and a distinctive sawtooth pattern along baselines and cap heights. Because the design is highly stylized and counterless in many glyphs, readability drops quickly at smaller sizes, while large settings emphasize its emblematic, logo-like character.
