A sharply angular display face built from wedge-like strokes and tapered slashes, with frequent needle points and sudden flare-outs. Many glyphs resolve into triangular masses with thin, hairline exits, creating strong internal tension and a sense of motion. Counters are often reduced or collapsed into solid shapes, and curves—when present—read as knife-edged crescents rather than soft rounds. The rhythm is intentionally irregular, with variable widths and highly individualized silhouettes that still share a consistent “shard” construction and forward-leaning energy.
Best suited to display applications where strong personality is desired—posters, game and film titling, album/track graphics, and bold branding moments. It works especially well when set large with generous tracking, where the sharp terminals and filled-in interiors can be appreciated without sacrificing recognition.
The overall tone is intense and kinetic, evoking a sci‑fi, weaponized aesthetic that feels cryptic and slightly chaotic. Its spiky forms and compressed openings communicate urgency and attitude, lending a dramatic, otherworldly voice to short phrases and punchy titles.
The design appears intended to transform Latin letterforms into stylized symbols—prioritizing impact, motion, and a cohesive “shard” motif over conventional readability. It’s built to signal genre and atmosphere quickly, functioning as a visual texture as much as a reading face.
At text sizes the collapsed counters and extreme tapers can cause letters to merge into abstract shapes, so spacing and scale become part of the look. Digits and punctuation follow the same razor-edged logic, reinforcing a uniform, emblematic texture across lines.
