A heavy geometric display face built from simplified, near-monoline forms and large, rounded counters that are frequently interrupted by narrow vertical slits and notches. Many letters read as solid silhouettes with collapsed interior space, while select strokes are split by consistent cut-ins that create an inline/stencil rhythm. Curves are broadly circular and terminals are generally flat, producing a compact, blocky texture with strong figure–ground contrast and clear, poster-oriented shapes.
Best suited to short, large-size settings such as posters, title treatments, wordmarks, packaging fronts, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for event graphics or album covers where the cutout rhythm can carry a strong visual identity, but it is likely to feel busy at small sizes or in long passages.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and architectural, with a distinctly Deco-meets-industrial attitude. The repeated cut lines add a mechanical, fabricated flavor that can read as signage, machinery labeling, or stylized stamped lettering.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact through bold silhouettes while introducing a signature cutout system that differentiates otherwise simple geometric shapes. The aim is a distinctive display voice that evokes crafted, constructed lettering—part stencil, part Deco ornament—optimized for branding and headline presence.
The design creates a strong pattern across words: repeated vertical incisions and occasional wedge-like gaps become a dominant motif, sometimes outweighing traditional counterforms. In running text, this yields a striking stripe-and-solid cadence that is highly decorative and best treated as a graphic element.
