A sharply faceted, oblique sans with squared-off geometry and planar cuts replacing curves. Strokes stay largely monoline, with blunt terminals and frequent chamfers that create a stepped, mechanical rhythm. Counters are boxy and open, and many joins show small notches or pixel-like bumps that read as intentional roughening rather than softness. Proportions are compact with a slightly condensed feel in some glyphs, while overall spacing and widths vary enough to avoid a strictly uniform, gridlike texture.
Best suited for display applications where its angular construction and oblique momentum can be appreciated—headlines, posters, esports or gaming graphics, and tech-forward branding. It can also work for short UI accents or labels, but the faceting and rough edges make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is technical and hard-edged, evoking sci-fi interfaces, industrial labeling, and digital distortion. The jagged facets and clipped corners add a slightly rebellious, kinetic energy that feels modern and synthetic rather than neutral or humanist.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, machine-made voice, trading smooth curves for cut planes and clipped terminals. The added micro-irregularities suggest a purposeful nod to glitch, rugged fabrication, or digital hardware aesthetics while maintaining clear letter recognition.
The italic slant is consistent across cases and numerals, helping the face feel fast and directional. Diagonals and corners do most of the expressive work, and the deliberate irregularities at some terminals and joints give the font a rugged, hacked-in aesthetic that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes.
