A slanted, angular display face built from chunky, rounded-rectangle strokes with frequent cut-ins and notched corners. Letterforms lean forward and use squarish counters, creating a modular, techno skeleton that’s intentionally disrupted by irregular “chip” breaks and stepped terminals. The rhythm is lively and uneven by design, with some glyphs showing extra internal divisions or asymmetric joins that make the texture feel fragmented rather than smooth. Numerals match the same blocky construction, keeping a consistent, mechanical footprint across the set.
Well-suited to punchy headlines, poster typography, and branding that wants a high-energy digital or arcade flavor. It also fits gaming and sci‑fi themed UI moments, packaging accents, and event graphics where a deliberately disrupted, experimental texture is an advantage over neutrality.
The overall tone is futuristic and mischievous—part arcade UI, part corrupted signal. The notches and broken edges add a sense of motion and interference, giving the font a rebellious, hacked-tech attitude rather than a clean industrial one.
The design appears intended to evoke a techno display style while deliberately introducing glitches and irregular cuts to break uniformity. It prioritizes personality and motion over calm readability, aiming for an experimental, one-off look that stands out in short, bold applications.
The face reads best when allowed to stay large enough for the small cutouts and breaks to remain distinct; at tight sizes those details can visually merge and increase noise. The forward slant and squared counters produce a strong horizontal drive, making short bursts of text feel fast and energized.
