A heavy, display-forward slab design built from chunky rectangular terminals and broad, rounded bowls, interrupted by frequent horizontal cut-throughs that create a stenciled, segmented look. The letterforms mix flat-topped slab caps with smooth, almost circular curves (notably in C/O/G and many lowercase rounds), producing strong black shapes with crisp negative bands running through counters and joins. Several glyphs show thin internal linking strokes and notched junctions that read like cutouts or construction lines, giving the set a deliberate, engineered irregularity while keeping an overall consistent grid-like rhythm.
Best suited to large-scale applications such as posters, editorial headlines, branding marks, and packaging where the distinctive cutout bands and chunky slabs can be appreciated. It can add character to short labels and titles, especially when ample spacing and clean backgrounds help the internal segmentation remain legible.
The font feels experimental and constructed—part industrial stencil, part retro-futurist display. Its high-impact silhouettes and unexpected internal breaks add a playful, slightly rebellious tone that suits attention-grabbing typography with a crafted, mechanical edge.
The design appears intended to reinterpret slab-serif construction through a modular, cut-and-assembled approach, using dramatic negative slices and block terminals to create a memorable display texture. The goal seems to be maximum visual identity rather than neutrality, producing letterforms that read as engineered objects as much as text.
The cut-throughs and internal connections are frequent enough to become a signature motif, creating lively texture in words but also adding visual noise at smaller sizes. Numerals and punctuation inherit the same segmented logic, reinforcing a cohesive, poster-oriented voice across the set.
