A geometric display face built from partial fills and thin outline remnants, creating letters that read as sliced or interrupted. Strokes alternate between solid black segments and hairline contours, producing abrupt internal cut-ins and missing counters that feel intentionally “hollowed” rather than traditionally drawn. Many forms lean on broad circular and rectangular primitives, with sharp vertical terminals and occasional diagonal slashes, giving the alphabet a modular, constructed rhythm. The shadow-like doubling is suggested through offset fragments and secondary outlines that trail parts of the forms, emphasizing depth and separation without becoming fully 3D.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, event titles, music releases, fashion or tech branding, and punchy editorial openers. It works well when you want a striking, constructed texture across a short phrase, especially on high-contrast backgrounds.
The overall tone is disruptive and futuristic, like a typographic signal breaking up or being reassembled. It conveys a tense, high-energy feel suited to experimental culture, digital aesthetics, and bold conceptual statements. The mix of stark black mass and fragile outlines adds a clinical, engineered edge.
The design appears intended to reinterpret familiar sans forms through subtraction, layering, and offset detailing, turning each glyph into a graphic object. It prioritizes visual impact and conceptual texture over neutral readability, using cut-outs and shadowed fragments to suggest motion, distortion, or dimensional separation.
Legibility varies by glyph: the consistent segmentation creates a strong identity but can obscure conventional counters in smaller sizes. The design thrives when given room—larger sizes and generous spacing let the layered cuts and shadowed offsets read as intentional structure rather than noise.
