A decorative sans with fragmented, cut-out construction and an offset secondary layer that reads like a shadow or displaced duplicate. Strokes are pared down into sharp wedges, slivers, and flat terminals, producing intentional gaps through bowls and joins. Curves (C, O, S, 3, 8, 9) appear partially “sliced,” while straighter letters (E, F, H, N) rely on broken horizontals and notched corners. Overall rhythm is irregular by design, with crisp, high-contrast voids and a distinctly modular, deconstructed silhouette.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and short punchy phrases where the sliced details and shadowed duplication can be appreciated. It works well for tech-themed campaigns, game or film titles, and editorial openers, but is less appropriate for long-form reading or very small UI text.
The font conveys a sci‑fi and cyberpunk attitude—like damaged signage, hacked interfaces, or a stylized digital distortion. The sliced counters and displaced shadow layer add tension and motion, giving it an aggressive, high-energy tone that feels contemporary and experimental.
The design appears intended to fuse a stencil-like cutout system with a dynamic shadow/displacement effect, creating a controlled “glitch” aesthetic. It prioritizes visual impact and texture over neutral legibility, aiming for a bold, futuristic signature.
In the text sample, the cumulative cut-ins and shadow offsets create a lively texture and can reduce continuous stroke continuity, especially in dense settings. Larger sizes emphasize the crafted negative space and the shadow displacement, while small sizes may cause some characters to feel visually similar due to repeated notches and breaks.
