A wide, rounded display face built from thick, marker-like strokes with soft terminals and frequent cut-outs that create an open, hollowed appearance. Many glyphs are constructed from separated segments rather than continuous outlines, producing a stencil-like rhythm and a slightly jittery, hand-drawn energy while remaining upright and largely monolinear. Curves tend to be flattened into broad arcs and open bowls, and counters are often implied through gaps instead of enclosed shapes, giving the alphabet a distinctive, modular texture.
Best suited to large-scale display use where its cut-out construction and wide proportions can read clearly: posters, headlines, logos, packaging accents, and music or event promotion. It can also work for short, punchy on-screen UI moments (titles, splash screens) where a sci‑fi or urban tone is desired.
The overall tone feels futuristic and streetwise, mixing techno signage cues with a casual, hand-rendered attitude. The broken strokes and hollow cuts add a sense of motion and attitude, making the font feel playful yet edgy rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, high-impact display voice through wide proportions, rounded geometry, and deliberate stroke interruptions that suggest hollow/offset detailing and a crafted, hand-drawn finish. The goal seems to be recognizability and texture over neutral readability.
In text settings, the repeated gaps and open joins create strong patterning and can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, especially where similar shapes rely on small breaks for differentiation. The numerals and capitals read as bold, graphic forms, while lowercase maintains the same segmented construction for a consistent voice across lines.
