A heavy, geometric sans built from modular strokes and circular arcs, with frequent vertical splits and cut-ins that create a segmented, stencil-like construction. Curves read as near-perfect semicircles, while straight stems and terminals are blunt and squared, producing a strong black silhouette and a crisp, poster-ready rhythm. Counters are reduced and often interrupted by narrow gaps, giving letters a distinctive mechanical structure and slightly compressed internal space without feeling condensed overall.
Best suited for headlines, titles, posters, and branding where its segmented construction can read clearly and contribute visual texture. It can work well for packaging and editorial display settings, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The segmented geometry gives the face an industrial, retro-futurist tone—somewhere between mid-century display lettering and utilitarian stenciling. It feels bold, engineered, and playful in a graphic way, emphasizing pattern and repetition as much as legibility.
The design appears intended as a statement display sans that prioritizes a distinctive modular/stencil system and strong silhouette over neutral readability. Its repeated cuts and geometric curves suggest a deliberate focus on creating a memorable, pattern-driven voice for branding and large-format typography.
The most recognizable feature is the consistent use of vertical notches/splits through bowls and joins, which creates a repeating barcode-like motif across words. This adds texture at headline sizes but can make similar shapes (especially round letters and certain numerals) feel closer in color and detail when set small.
