A modular, geometric slab-serif design built from heavy horizontal slabs paired with much finer internal connectors. Many letters appear segmented, with deliberate gaps and inline-like hairline strokes that join counters to the top and bottom bars, creating a high-contrast, constructed feel. Curves are broadly rounded and squarish in their turns, while terminals often resolve into flat, blocky caps. Proportions vary noticeably by character, reinforcing a custom, display-oriented rhythm rather than a strictly uniform texture.
Best suited to large-size typography where its segmented construction and fine connectors remain visible: headlines, poster titling, logos, and bold brand moments. It can also work for short blocks of display copy or packaging where a technical, industrial voice is desired, but it’s less suited to long-form reading due to its disruptive internal detailing.
The font projects an engineered, experimental tone—part industrial stencil, part futuristic signage. Its bold slabs read as confident and mechanical, while the thin connecting lines add a technical, schematic nuance that feels intentionally unconventional.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a slab-serif silhouette through a modular, partially stencil-like construction, emphasizing contrast between heavy slabs and hairline links. It prioritizes distinctive texture and character recognition for display use, aiming for a futuristic/industrial personality rather than conventional text clarity.
Several diagonals are reduced to thin strokes (notably in forms like V/W/X/Z and some lowercase), which creates striking light–dark patterning and makes those characters feel airy compared with the dense slabbed shapes around them. Numerals follow the same segmented logic, mixing solid bars with open, linear strokes for a distinctive, set-like consistency.
