A condensed, right-slanted display face built from hard, angular strokes and faceted corners. Forms feel chiseled and mechanical, with abrupt terminals, clipped curves, and occasional internal notches that create a cut-out, segmented look. Stroke behavior is deliberately irregular in places—some joins and counters are tightened or opened unexpectedly—giving the alphabet a constructed, experimental rhythm. Numerals and letters share the same sharp geometry, with boxy bowls and zig-zag diagonals that read clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, game titles/UI accents, and entertainment packaging where the angular silhouette can carry the message. It works especially well when set large, where the faceted details and cut-in shapes remain visible and intentional.
The overall tone is kinetic and confrontational, suggesting speed, machinery, and a slightly anarchic sci‑fi attitude. Its sharp cuts and forward lean lend it a punchy, action-oriented voice that feels more like a logo or title style than a neutral text face.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke a fabricated, industrial feel—like stenciled or machined parts—while staying playful through quirky, irregular cuts and eccentric proportions. The intent seems to prioritize attitude and motion over typographic neutrality, creating a distinctive one-off voice for display typography.
The design relies on strong silhouette recognition rather than smooth curve continuity, and the slant is reinforced by many diagonal stems and angled crossbars. Spacing appears visually tight in sample text, which amplifies the compact, compressed texture and the sense of momentum.
