A monoline, geometric display face with wide proportions and a deliberately engineered feel. Many letters are built from simple arcs and straight segments, then visually “tied together” by a strong horizontal bar that often runs through the baseline or midline, creating an inline/stenciled effect across words. Corners are generally crisp, bowls are round and open, and counters stay clear despite the decorative interruptions. The design maintains consistent stroke weight while allowing idiosyncratic letter constructions that make the rhythm feel intentionally irregular and experimental.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where the horizontal bar motif can act as a defining graphic element. It works well for posters, logo wordmarks, packaging accents, and event flyers that benefit from a playful, engineered aesthetic, and it can also serve as a distinctive secondary display face in themed layouts.
The overall tone is wacky and gadget-like, suggesting playful signage, sci‑fi interfaces, and offbeat retro branding. The continuous bar motif gives it a schematic, constructed personality—part toy, part machine—so text feels energetic and a little mischievous rather than formal.
The design appears intended to be a one-of-a-kind display alphabet that fuses simple geometric construction with a repeated horizontal “bridge” detail to create instant recognizability. Its purpose is less about neutrality and more about turning text into a graphic pattern with a quirky, mechanical signature.
The bar-and-gap construction becomes more pronounced in running text, where the repeated horizontal strokes create a strong stripe across lines and emphasize the baseline. This adds impact at display sizes but can visually compete with letterforms in longer passages, especially where multiple letters align their bars on the same row.
