A bold, geometric sans with a consistent horizontal segmentation running through most glyphs, creating a stenciled, sliced effect. Bowls and rounds are built from clean circular and rectangular primitives, but are interrupted by evenly spaced gaps that break strokes into stacked bands. The overall construction feels modular and display-oriented, with simplified terminals, sturdy verticals, and a rhythm that alternates between solid blocks and negative-space cuts. In text, the repeating midline gaps form a strong texture that can reduce legibility at smaller sizes while amplifying visual pattern at larger sizes.
Best suited to large-size applications where its striped construction can read clearly: posters, headlines, packaging, and identity marks that want a tech-forward or experimental voice. It can also work for short bursts of text in event graphics or album artwork, where texture and attitude matter more than long-form legibility.
The repeating cut-lines give the face a glitchy, techno tone—like scanlines, signal interference, or a deconstructed digital display. It reads as playful and slightly disruptive, turning familiar letterforms into graphic shapes. The result feels contemporary and experimental, with a bold, poster-like presence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a clean geometric sans through deliberate horizontal interruptions, creating a recognizable scanline/stencil signature. It prioritizes graphic impact and a distinctive pattern in the word shape, aiming for a modern, experimental display feel.
The segmentation is most prominent across horizontals and within counters, producing distinctive striped apertures and a high-impact word image. Ascenders and descenders remain straightforward, but the internal breaks become the main identifier, making the font more about texture and pattern than conventional readability.
