A heavy, geometric display face built from solid blocks and rounded segments, consistently interrupted by narrow vertical cuts and occasional diagonal slashes. Counters are largely collapsed, so letter recognition relies on silhouette and the repeated cutout rhythm rather than interior space. Curves are broad and near-circular, while straight stems and terminals are squared and blunt, creating a rigid, architectural feel. The repeated internal “stripe” motif adds sharp contrast and a stenciled, constructed look across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to large-scale display work such as posters, titles, branding marks, packaging fronts, and event or venue graphics where the cutout pattern can be appreciated. It can also work for short signage-style phrases, especially when paired with a simpler companion for body text.
The overall tone feels bold and theatrical, with a vintage-modern edge that recalls Art Deco signage and industrial stenciling. Its patterned cutouts give it a crafted, engineered personality that reads as confident, graphic, and slightly dramatic.
The design appears intended to create maximum impact through massed shapes and a consistent system of internal cutouts, blending stencil-like construction with Deco-inspired geometry. The goal is less about continuous reading and more about producing a memorable, patterned wordshape with strong graphic presence.
The distinctive inline gaps create strong texture in lines of text, producing a zebra-like pattern that becomes a primary visual feature at larger sizes. Because counters are minimized, small sizes and dense settings can reduce legibility, while headlines benefit from the strong silhouettes and repeatable motif.
