A sharply angled, sans display face built from straight strokes and abrupt corners, with a pronounced slant and frequent wedge-like diagonals. Forms are highly contrasty, pairing hairline connectors with heavier verticals and blocks, creating a fractured, constructed rhythm across words. Counters tend to be tight and geometric, and many curves are simplified into faceted shapes, reinforcing a rigid, engineered feel. Spacing appears irregular by design, with uneven internal widths and occasional extended arms that add a jagged, kinetic texture in text.
Best suited for display settings where its sharp contrast and angular construction can be appreciated—posters, headlines, title cards, and striking brand marks. It can also work for music and event graphics or tech-themed campaigns where a futuristic, aggressive voice is desired, while body text use should be limited to short bursts at generous sizes.
The overall tone is tense and high-energy, suggesting speed, circuitry, and cut-metal geometry rather than warmth or tradition. Its spiky silhouettes and abrupt transitions read as bold, confrontational, and distinctly modern, with a touch of dystopian or cyberpunk attitude.
The design intention appears to be an experimental, constructed sans that pushes contrast and slanted geometry to create a distinctive, high-impact voice. It prioritizes graphic texture and attitude over conventional readability, aiming to stand out in bold editorial and promotional contexts.
The font’s personality relies on strong directional strokes and asymmetrical detailing, which makes individual letters feel bespoke and intentionally unstable. In longer lines, the alternating heavy stems and hairline links create a flickering pattern that rewards large sizes but can become visually noisy when set too small or too tightly.
