A heavy, angular display face built from faceted strokes and sharp chamfered corners. Forms are largely rectangular with cut-in notches, diagonal terminals, and occasional wedge-like joins that create a fractured, crystalline silhouette. Counters tend toward squared openings, and the overall rhythm feels intentionally irregular, with some letters leaning into asymmetry and stylized construction while maintaining a consistent cap height and sturdy baseline presence. Numerals follow the same hard-edged geometry, reinforcing a bold, monolithic texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact display use such as headlines, posters, game or esports graphics, and logo wordmarks where its sharp geometry can carry the message. It also fits album/track artwork and event promotions that want an aggressive techno or arcade flavor, especially at larger sizes where the faceted details stay clear.
The tone is intense and energetic, with a sharp, weaponized feel that reads as techno, arcade, and slightly dystopian. Its jagged cuts and mechanical angles suggest speed, impact, and a rebellious, game-like attitude rather than refinement or neutrality.
Likely designed to create a distinctive, hard-edged identity through consistent chamfering and notched, modular construction. The goal appears to be maximum character and recognizability—prioritizing dramatic silhouette and attitude over conventional text smoothness.
The design relies on distinctive corner cuts and interior notches as its main identifying motif, producing strong silhouettes at large sizes. In longer settings the dense black mass and frequent angular details can make word shapes feel busy, so it performs best when allowed ample size and spacing.
