A sharply angular display face built from chunky, faceted strokes and hard corners. The forms feel carved rather than drawn: terminals are knife-like, counters are mostly rectangular, and many joins break into polygonal segments. The overall stance is forward-leaning with a dynamic, skewed rhythm, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an intentionally uneven, experimental texture. Curves are minimized or replaced with straight facets, giving the alphabet a distinctly geometric, constructed look.
Best suited to short display settings where its angular details can breathe—posters, punchy headlines, logo wordmarks, game titles, and album/streaming artwork. It can also work for event graphics or packaging where a sharp, futuristic edge is desired, but it is not optimized for extended small-size reading.
The tone is high-energy and confrontational, with a techno-arcade flavor and a sense of speed. Its jagged silhouettes and forward slant read as kinetic and slightly chaotic, leaning into a gritty, sci-fi attitude rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver an unconventional, high-impact voice by exaggerating slant, using chiseled geometry, and embracing irregular widths for personality. It prioritizes silhouette, motion, and attitude over typographic neutrality, aiming to feel custom and one-off in use.
Distinctive cut-ins and wedge terminals create strong silhouettes at large sizes, but the tight apertures and spiky details can crowd together as sizes drop. Numerals and capitals share the same faceted logic, reinforcing a cohesive, weaponized geometry across the set.
