A stylized display face built from very thin, broken strokes and deliberate voids, giving each letterform a hollowed, cut-out look. Curves are rendered as partial arcs rather than continuous bowls, while straights terminate in crisp, squared ends and short horizontal notches. The construction feels modular and segmented, with occasional offset fragments that read like a subtle shadowed echo. Overall rhythm is airy and high-contrast in positive/negative space, prioritizing silhouette and pattern over continuous outlines.
Best suited to large-size applications where the segmented construction can be read clearly, such as posters, headlines, branding accents, album/cover art, and sci‑fi or tech-themed interfaces. It works well for short bursts of text, titling, and logos where distinctive texture matters more than continuous readability.
The tone is futuristic and slightly abrasive, suggesting digital interference, synth-era sci‑fi, and experimental minimalism. Its fragmented shapes create a tense, high-energy texture that feels engineered rather than handwritten, with a cool, technical attitude.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through subtraction and fragmentation, using cut-outs and offset pieces to create a shadowed, high-tech display voice. The aim is a strong graphic signature that produces pattern and atmosphere in setting.
The cutouts become more pronounced in smaller counters and joins, so spacing and surrounding whitespace play a major role in legibility. Numerals and punctuation follow the same broken-stroke logic, reinforcing a consistent system across the set.
