This typeface uses a clean geometric skeleton that’s intentionally interrupted by horizontal and occasional diagonal cut-ins, creating a segmented, stencil-like construction. Curves are smooth and fairly circular, while joins and terminals stay crisp and sharply defined. The repeated “break” motif is applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a recognizable rhythm that reads like intentional interference rather than damage. Spacing and proportions feel broadly conventional, but the internal gaps and displaced strokes create a variable, stop-start texture across words.
Best suited for display settings where the segmented construction can be appreciated: posters, editorial headlines, cover art, and brand marks that want a deliberate glitch/stencil signature. It works especially well in short phrases, logos, and high-contrast applications where the internal breaks read as a graphic feature rather than a readability obstacle.
The overall tone is mischievous and disruptive—like a controlled glitch or hacked signage. It feels contemporary and experimental, balancing legibility with an offbeat, rule-breaking personality. The consistent interruptions add a kinetic, syncopated feel that can read as techy, playful, or slightly rebellious depending on context.
The design appears intended to take a familiar sans/geometric foundation and introduce systematic interruptions to create a distinctive, experimental voice. The consistent slicing across the character set suggests a focus on visual identity and texture in setting, rather than neutral, continuous stroke flow.
In text, the recurring horizontal voids become a strong pattern, so the font’s character increases with size and contrast. The diagonal cuts in letters like K, M, N, V, W, and X add extra motion, while the more circular forms (C, G, O, Q, e) emphasize the “sliced” effect. Numerals echo the same interruption strategy, helping headings and short numeric strings match the wordmark-like aesthetic.
