A slanted, display-oriented serif with squared slabs and sharp, engineered joins. Strokes show strong contrast and are repeatedly interrupted by thin inline cutouts that run through stems, bowls, and crossbars, producing a hollowed, segmented construction. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with a steady forward rhythm, while terminals and serifs stay crisp and rectilinear. Curves are tightened into rounded-rectangle shapes, and counters appear compact due to the internal striping and squared geometry.
Best suited to large sizes where the internal cutouts can be appreciated—posters, striking headlines, title treatments, and logo-style wordmarks. It can add a technical accent to packaging or entertainment graphics, but the segmented interiors make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The repeated knockouts and italic drive give it a fast, mechanical energy with a distinctly retro-futurist flavor. It reads as bold and technical rather than traditional, suggesting speed, machinery, and synthesized aesthetics.
The design appears intended to merge italic momentum with a constructed, hollowed-instrument look, using consistent inline knockouts to create a distinctive signature. Its squared slabs and disciplined geometry aim for impact and memorability in display settings.
Spacing and width vary noticeably across glyphs, creating a lively, slightly modular texture in text. The inline cutouts remain a consistent motif across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping the design hold together even with its unusual, broken-stroke construction.
