A heavy, geometric sans with compact counters and a sturdy, poster-like presence. Many glyphs feature distinctive cut-in rectangular notches and occasional internal slit details that interrupt otherwise solid strokes, creating a “sliced” construction across rounds and stems. Curves are broadly rounded with squared terminals in places, while diagonals and joins stay firm and simplified; spacing and widths vary by character, giving the alphabet an uneven, lively rhythm. Numerals follow the same blunt geometry, with the 0 showing a prominent diagonal slash and several figures carrying the same inset interruptions.
Best suited to large-scale applications where the inset cuts can read as intentional texture: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging callouts, album/cover art, and title cards. It can work for short bursts of text or signage-style labeling, but the internal interruptions make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The repeated inset cuts and irregular interruptions lend a glitchy, hacked-digital tone with an industrial edge. It feels energetic and slightly mischievous—more experimental display than neutral text—suggesting motion, distortion, or mechanical stenciling without fully becoming a traditional stencil face.
The design appears intended to take a familiar geometric sans foundation and disrupt it with systematic incisions, creating a recognizable, branded texture while keeping letterforms broadly legible. The goal reads as high-impact display typography with an experimental, tech-tinged personality.
The most defining signature is the consistent use of narrow rectangular incisions within strokes (often on verticals and inside bowls), which becomes especially noticeable in larger settings. Round letters like C, G, O, and Q stay smooth and monolinear in feel, while select characters introduce sharp internal breaks that create strong visual texture across words.
