A sharp, geometric display face built from thin, broken strokes with frequent right-angle turns and deliberate cut-ins. The forms feel constructed from modular segments rather than continuous curves, producing a crisp, digital rhythm across the alphabet. Many glyphs include an offset inner/secondary contour that reads like a consistent drop-shadow or echo line, creating depth while maintaining an airy, minimal footprint. Counters and terminals are squared and clipped, and diagonals appear selectively, reinforcing a mechanical, engineered texture.
Best suited to display settings where the cutout detailing and shadow echo can be appreciated: posters, album/film titles, game branding, event graphics, and tech-themed interfaces. It works especially well for short headlines, logos, and packaging accents rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is sci‑fi and high-tech, evoking neon signage, HUD graphics, and retro-futurist interfaces. Its sliced strokes and shadowed echo give it a clandestine, energetic feel—more "system warning" than "friendly"—with a sleek, nighttime city ambience.
The design appears intended to merge a minimal, constructed skeleton with an integrated shadow/echo layer, producing dimensionality without adding weight. Its modular breaks and squared geometry suggest a deliberate nod to digital display logic and stencil-like industrial signage.
The segmented construction introduces intentional discontinuities that become a key part of the voice; at small sizes these breaks and the shadow offset may merge or soften, while at larger sizes they create striking detail. Numerals and uppercase share the same squared, modular logic, helping the set feel cohesive in titles and short bursts of text.
