A jagged, angular display face built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with subtly irregular geometry that makes each glyph feel hand-cut rather than mechanically perfect. Strokes are largely monoline with occasional tapering from angled joins, and counters are boxy or trapezoidal, often slightly skewed. The baseline and cap line feel mostly steady, but internal angles and stroke endings introduce a restless rhythm and uneven optical balance. Forms lean toward wide, open silhouettes with simplified curves translated into faceted segments.
Best suited to short, bold applications where texture is an asset: posters, headlines, packaging, album/cover art, game titles, and punchy brand marks. It can work for UI labels or signage when set generously with ample tracking and line spacing, but it’s most effective as a display font rather than for continuous reading.
The tone is mischievous and offbeat, mixing a sci‑fi, techno flavor with a DIY, cut-paper attitude. Its intentional wonkiness reads energetic and a little confrontational, making it feel more like a graphic voice than a neutral text tool.
The design appears intended to reinterpret geometric sans forms through an intentionally irregular, angular lens—prioritizing personality, motion, and a stylized ‘constructed’ feel. It aims to deliver an experimental, graphic presence that stands out immediately at display sizes.
Distinctive construction choices—like squared bowls, triangular apertures, and asymmetrical terminals—create strong character at the expense of smooth flow. The irregularities are consistent enough to feel designed, not accidental, but they increase texture and can amplify visual noise in long passages.
