An angular, geometric display face built from sharp wedges, tapered strokes, and occasional boxed counters. Many glyphs use triangular cut-ins and notched joins, creating a fractured, blade-like rhythm; some forms are outlined or partially enclosed in rectangles or diamonds, adding a stencil/constructed feel. Terminals tend to end in points, diagonals dominate, and bowls are often implied through negative space rather than smooth curves. Spacing and letterform widths vary noticeably, contributing to an intentionally uneven, experimental texture in words.
Best suited to short display settings such as posters, game or film titles, album covers, flyers, and attention-grabbing headlines where its jagged geometry can be read as an intentional motif. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that want a coded, aggressive, or experimental edge, especially when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is wacky and slightly ominous—like a futuristic cipher or arcane signage rendered in shards. Its sharp silhouettes and intermittent “framed” shapes read as energetic and offbeat, with a puzzle-like character that feels both playful and tense.
The design appears intended to push letterforms toward a symbolic, constructed look—combining sharp triangular gestures with occasional enclosing shapes to create a distinctive, one-off texture. Its goal seems less about neutral readability and more about producing a memorable, stylized voice with a fragmented, futuristic/ritual vibe.
In running text, the distinctive interior cutouts and occasional boxed shapes become the primary identifying feature, while the irregular rhythm can make long passages feel busy. The strongest impression comes at larger sizes where the triangular incisions and constructed geometry remain crisp and legible as stylistic details.
