A sharply angular, monolinear display face built from narrow, stick-like strokes with frequent notched corners and small wedge-like terminals. Curves are largely avoided; counters are often squared or partially open, and many joins show deliberate breaks that create a segmented, hand-cut rhythm. Proportions are compact with a small x-height, tall ascenders/descenders, and irregular widths that make each glyph feel individually constructed rather than mechanically repeated. In text, the overall texture is airy and wiry, with distinctive silhouettes and occasional asymmetries that read as intentionally rough-hewn.
Best suited for short display settings where distinctive letter shapes can be appreciated: posters, titles, album art, game UI, and thematic branding. It can also work for small blocks of atmospheric copy when generous tracking and leading are used, but it is strongest as a characterful accent rather than for dense reading.
The tone is cryptic and offbeat, like improvised runes or a scratch-built sci‑fi interface. Its spiky angles and fractured connections add a slightly eerie, clandestine feeling, while the thin strokes and odd letterforms keep it playful and experimental rather than heavy or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, symbolic flavor—combining geometric scaffolding with intentionally imperfect, broken strokes to suggest coded messages, arcane signage, or experimental tech lettering. The consistent use of angles, notches, and open corners prioritizes personality and silhouette over conventional readability.
Uppercase forms lean toward geometric, boxy constructions, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes and exaggerated ascenders/descenders, increasing the “handmade” cadence in running text. Numerals and punctuation echo the same carved, segmented logic, maintaining a consistent visual language across the set.
