A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a consistent midline cut running through many glyphs, creating a segmented, stencil-like construction. Strokes are generally monolinear with squared terminals and smooth, rounded bowls where needed; counters are large and open, keeping forms legible despite the interruptions. The design leans on simple, built shapes (notably in E/F/T and the numerals) while letters like S, G, and Q show more sculpted curvature to maintain recognition. Overall spacing feels assertive and poster-ready, with the horizontal breaks acting as a unifying visual motif across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for display typography where the segmented construction can be appreciated: posters, large headlines, wordmarks, event graphics, and packaging. The bold presence and open counters can also work for short navigational or signage-style lines, particularly in high-contrast black-on-white applications.
The repeated horizontal breaks give the face a mechanical, engineered tone—like signage cut from sheet material or type seen through a scanning line. It reads contemporary and slightly disruptive, projecting a tech-forward, industrial character that feels deliberate rather than distressed.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a straightforward geometric sans through a consistent horizontal interruption, producing a system-like, fabricated look while keeping letterforms recognizable. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and a memorable texture for attention-grabbing titles and branding.
The midline gaps vary by letter, sometimes forming small notches or bridges that add rhythm across words, especially in mixed-case text. Round letters (O/C/e) emphasize the cut most strongly, creating a distinctive banding effect that becomes a key identifier at display sizes.
