A wide, squared sans with modular construction and frequent cutouts that break strokes into segmented forms. Corners are predominantly chamfered or rounded, and curves are treated as squared arcs, giving the design a streamlined, engineered feel. Many glyphs include small notches and internal gaps that read like stencil breaks, plus subtle offset echoes on portions of strokes that create a directional depth effect. The rhythm is assertive and graphic, prioritizing silhouette and negative-space patterning over conventional letterform continuity.
Best suited for large-scale display settings where the cutouts and depth accents can be read clearly—headlines, posters, UI headers, gaming/stream overlays, and film or event titling. It also works well for short labels and branding elements that benefit from a technical, engineered voice rather than continuous long-form reading.
The font conveys a futuristic, tactical tone—part cyberpunk interface, part industrial stencil. Its sliced strokes and offset depth cues suggest motion, machinery, and coded systems, producing a slightly covert, high-tech atmosphere.
The design appears intended to blend a broad, geometric foundation with deliberate stroke interruptions and a subtle depth cue, producing a high-impact, futuristic display style. Its construction emphasizes modularity and negative space to create a distinctive texture and a sense of engineered precision.
In text, the recurring cut lines create a distinctive horizontal flicker, especially across rounded letters and the numerals, which can dominate at smaller sizes. The wide proportions and open spacing help maintain separation between characters, while the segmented joins give the overall texture a deliberately disrupted, synthetic cadence.
