A heavy, geometric display face built from solid, rounded-rectangle masses that are repeatedly interrupted by narrow vertical slits and occasional angled cut-ins. Counters are largely collapsed into internal breaks rather than open bowls, creating a dense silhouette with crisp edges and simplified joins. The rhythm is strongly modular: many letters share the same split-stem motif, while a few glyphs introduce wedge-like diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y/Z) to keep the texture dynamic. Numerals follow the same cut-out logic, favoring bold, compact forms with minimal interior openness.
Best suited to large-scale display typography where its segmented forms and dense silhouettes can register clearly—posters, splash headlines, title cards, and branding marks. It can also work for short packaging callouts or event graphics, but is less comfortable for long passages due to its intentionally collapsed counters and strong internal striping.
The overall tone feels theatrical and machine-made, combining Art Deco poster punch with a stencil-like, cut-metal attitude. The recurring internal splits add a sense of motion and compression, giving words a dramatic, noir-leaning headline energy.
The font appears designed to maximize impact through bold, simplified geometry while using consistent internal cut-outs to establish a signature texture. The collapsed counters and repeating split-stem motif suggest an intention to evoke stencil/cut lettering and Deco-era display styles in a contemporary, graphic way.
Because the interior openings are largely reduced to slits, fine details can visually merge at small sizes; the design reads best when the internal cuts have room to breathe. The strongly repeated vertical breaks create a distinctive patterning across lines, especially in all-caps settings.
