A heavy, geometric sans with sharply angled, left-leaning forms and a strong forward slant. Letter construction is built from chunky blocks with stepped corners and frequent horizontal notches, producing a cut-and-shift silhouette that reads like sliced segments. Strokes stay monoline and compact, with mostly rectangular counters and tight apertures; curves are minimized into faceted geometry. The texture is intentionally uneven at the edges, giving words a jagged rhythm while maintaining a consistent cap height and a sturdy, poster-like color on the page.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, game or stream overlays, and event graphics where the jagged detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for title cards or packaging callouts, but the intentionally disrupted shapes may reduce clarity in long passages or at very small sizes.
The font conveys a hacked, high-voltage energy—part arcade display, part industrial stencil, with a deliberate sense of disruption. Its fragmented edges and exaggerated slant create a fast, edgy tone suited to tech-forward or action-oriented messaging.
The design appears intended to blend a robust grotesque foundation with a stylized, digitally “glitched” edge treatment. By combining a strong slant, faceted geometry, and repeated cut-ins, it aims to deliver an energetic display voice that stands out in contemporary tech and entertainment contexts.
In text, the repeated horizontal cuts create a distinctive scanline-like pattern that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes. Numerals and uppercase have especially strong block presence, while the lowercase remains similarly angular and compact, reinforcing a unified, mechanical voice.
