An angular, geometric display face built from straight strokes and faceted corners, with frequent chamfered cuts and pointed spur-like terminals. Letterforms lean toward squarish bowls and open counters, with consistent stroke thickness and a rigid, modular feel. The rhythm is intentionally irregular in small details—many joins end in notches or barbed tips—giving the alphabet a constructed, almost cut-metal look while remaining largely legible in continuous text.
Best suited for short, prominent settings where its angular detailing can be appreciated—titles, posters, branding wordmarks, game interfaces, and tech-themed graphics. It can work for brief blocks of text at larger sizes, but the spurs and cut-ins make it most effective as a display face rather than for small-size reading.
The font projects a sci-fi and arcade energy, mixing technical precision with mischievous, spiky detailing. Its sharp terminals and segmented construction add an edgy, game-like personality that feels experimental and attention-grabbing rather than neutral or traditional.
The design appears intended to evoke a constructed, high-tech aesthetic through a modular, straight-edge drawing style and distinctive barbed terminals. It prioritizes character and silhouette over typographic neutrality, offering a decorative voice for futuristic or playful contexts.
Capitals read as compact, with squared-off curves in characters like O/Q and strong horizontal emphasis in E/F. Lowercase maintains the same angular grammar, with distinctive, non-calligraphic forms (notably a single-storey a and a geometric g) and minimal rounding. Numerals follow the same faceted system, with clearly segmented shapes that suit stylized numbering and UI-like labeling.
