A heavy, geometric sans built from bold blocks and curved segments, with frequent vertical “slices” that split bowls and stems into modular parts. Counters are simplified and often rendered as narrow gaps, giving many letters a cut-out, stencil-like structure. Rounded forms (O, C, G, S) read as near-circular massing, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, I, L, T) appear as compact slabs with squared terminals. Lowercase echoes the same construction with single-storey a and g, short extenders, and tightly enclosed counters, producing a dense, graphic rhythm in text.
Best suited to display settings where the segmented shapes can be read clearly—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and editorial openers. It works especially well when you want strong visual texture and a distinctive cut-out look, rather than neutral text performance at small sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and graphic, combining a retro display sensibility with an engineered, cut-and-assembled feel. The sliced construction adds a playful, puzzle-like character while still reading as bold and commanding, especially at headline sizes.
This design appears intended as a statement display sans that reinterprets geometric lettering through stencil-like cuts and modular segmentation. The goal seems to be maximum impact and recognizability, creating bold typographic patterns that feel both retro and constructed.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and the internal cuts become key distinguishing features, meaning letter identity relies on negative-space slits rather than traditional stroke modulation. The segmented joins in letters like M, N, W, and X amplify a constructed, modular aesthetic and can create striking texture in large blocks of text.
