A wiry, monoline display face built from sharp, faceted strokes and slightly kinked joins. The forms lean consistently, with narrow internal counters and irregular polygonal curves that feel “bent” rather than smoothly drawn. Terminals are blunt and often notched, giving letters a cut-paper or wireframe silhouette. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, contributing to a lively, uneven rhythm while maintaining a coherent angular construction across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best used at display sizes for posters, headlines, logos, and short punchy copy where its angular quirks can be appreciated. It can also work for playful interface labels or game/genre packaging where a hand-made, eccentric techno feel is desirable. For longer passages, it’s most effective in small doses as an accent rather than body text.
The overall tone is mischievous and experimental, like hand-drawn lettering filtered through a geometric, sci‑fi sketchbook. Its jittery angles and stilted flow read as intentionally odd and humorous, suitable for designs that want to feel unconventional and slightly chaotic without becoming illegible.
This design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, one-off voice by combining a consistent forward slant with irregular, faceted letter construction. The goal seems to be character and novelty—an energetic, sketch-like geometry that stands apart from standard italics while remaining readable in short lines.
Capitals skew toward tall, narrow proportions with distinctive chamfered corners, while lowercase keeps a similarly spiky ductus and simplified bowls. Numerals echo the same faceted geometry, reading like outlined shapes folded into place. The font’s personality comes more from its angular construction and irregular rhythm than from contrast or ornament.
