A blocky, bitmap-like sans with chunky proportions and sharply squared counters, built from stepped pixel contours rather than smooth curves. Strokes stay heavy and graphic, but the edges are intentionally irregular: many letters show vertical smears, notches, and broken pixel fragments that create a distressed, jittered silhouette. Rounded forms (like O and C) read as faceted octagons, while joins and terminals often look chipped or clipped, giving the texture of corrupted scanlines. Overall spacing and widths vary by glyph, producing a lively, uneven rhythm that still remains legible at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text where the distressed pixel texture can be appreciated—game titles, UI headers, arcade-style overlays, posters, and cover art. It can also work for tech-leaning branding or event graphics when a noisy, corrupted-digital voice is desired; for longer paragraphs it will read more comfortably at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The font conveys a gritty, digital attitude—like a retro bitmap face run through interference, compression artifacts, or a damaged CRT signal. It feels energetic and disruptive, with an arcade-meets-hacker mood that suits dystopian, underground, or tech-noise aesthetics.
The design appears intended to merge classic pixel typography with deliberate distortion, introducing artifact-like wear and jitter while keeping familiar block structures for readability. It aims for a strong display presence that signals retro digital culture and glitchy intensity rather than clean neutrality.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same pixel-constructed logic, with lowercase forms remaining sturdy and upright rather than calligraphic. Numerals keep the same chipped, stepped geometry, reinforcing a cohesive “corrupted bitmap” texture across the set.
