A stylized display face built from bold, angular silhouettes interrupted by consistent internal cut-outs and offset slashes that read like a built-in shadow. Strokes are largely geometric with sharp joins, flat-ish terminals, and repeated diagonal notches that carve through counters and joins, producing a fractured, segmented rhythm. Curves are present but treated as faceted arcs with strategic gaps, and many glyphs show split bowls or partially detached crossbars that emphasize the layered, sliced construction. Spacing feels open and the overall texture is airy for such assertive forms, with the shadowed cut lines creating motion across words.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, and logo/wordmark treatments where its cut-out shadow effect can be appreciated. It also fits entertainment and tech-adjacent contexts—gaming, sci-fi interfaces, and event graphics—where a sharp, kinetic texture is desirable rather than smooth readability at small sizes.
The font projects a mechanical, high-energy tone—part cyberpunk, part industrial stencil—where the shadow-like cuts suggest speed, interference, or a hacked signal. Its jagged internal breaks add a confrontational edge and a futuristic, technical flavor that reads as intentional disruption rather than ornament.
The design appears intended to merge a clean geometric base with a built-in shadow/cut system, producing a distinctive “sliced” identity that reads as fast, technical, and deliberately disrupted. The consistent notching across the alphabet suggests a focus on creating a repeatable visual signature for branding and display typography.
In longer text the repeated diagonal cut motif becomes the dominant texture, creating a strong horizontal sweep and a distinctive patterning across lines. The numerals and capitals maintain the same carved, offset-slice logic, helping headlines and branding marks stay visually consistent across mixed-case and numeric settings.
