A heavy, angular display face built from faceted, wedge-like strokes and hard corners. Many terminals resolve into pointed spurs, creating a chiseled silhouette and a consistent forward-leaning motion. Counters are small and geometric, and several letters use distinctive cut-ins and notches that emphasize the constructed, “shard” logic. Spacing and widths feel intentionally uneven, reinforcing the hand-cut, experimental rhythm while remaining legible at headline sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as posters, game or film titles, album art, and energetic event promotion. It can also work for logos and wordmarks where a sharp, futuristic personality is desired, but the spiky details and irregular rhythm make it less appropriate for long-form reading.
The overall tone is loud and kinetic, with a slightly menacing, arcade-like attitude. Its sharp forms and slashed details suggest speed, action, and a sci‑fi or battle-ready aesthetic, closer to graphic lettering than conventional text typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, high-energy voice through aggressive angles, carved notches, and a forward-driving stance. It prioritizes character and motion over neutrality, aiming for immediate visual punch and a memorable, one-off identity.
Lowercase and uppercase share a unified, stylized structure rather than a traditional two-case contrast, which strengthens the novelty feel in continuous text. Numerals follow the same angular construction, reading as compact, emblematic shapes suited to bold, high-impact settings.
