A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and an intentionally segmented construction. Many glyphs are built from solid, rectangular and circular masses interrupted by consistent vertical and occasional diagonal cut-ins, creating a stencil-like rhythm and strong negative shapes. Curves tend toward squared-off bowls and half-round forms, terminals are blunt, and counters are simplified, giving the alphabet a modular, poster-like presence. Numerals follow the same cut-and-block logic, reading as bold silhouettes with deliberate internal breaks.
Best suited to large-scale settings where the segmented shapes can be appreciated: posters, punchy headlines, identity marks, packaging, and cultural graphics. It also works well for short technical or industrial-themed messaging where a stencil-like, constructed feel is desired, but it is less appropriate for long-form text.
The repeated slices and block construction convey an industrial, technical tone with a contemporary, slightly futuristic edge. It feels purposeful and engineered rather than friendly, projecting strength, urgency, and a graphic, display-first attitude.
The design appears intended as a display sans that combines geometric massing with systematic cut-outs to create a distinctive signature. The goal seems to be maximum impact and recognizability through modular forms and consistent internal interruptions, trading some readability for strong graphic character.
The internal cut patterns become a defining texture in words, producing a distinct striped cadence across lines. At smaller sizes, the breaks and tight counters can reduce clarity, but at large sizes they read as a bold visual motif that helps the type stand out.
