A heavy, geometric sans with a distinctly cut-and-spliced construction. Many strokes are interrupted by sharp diagonal notches and vertical slits, producing a stencil-like rhythm while maintaining largely monolinear weight. Curves are broad and simplified, counters tend to be tight, and several characters show intentional breaks through bowls and cross-strokes (notably in forms like E, S, O/Q, and select numerals). The overall silhouette is blocky and stable, with squared shoulders, abrupt terminals, and a consistent, engineered feel across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding, and logo work where the cutout detailing can be appreciated. It also fits packaging, event graphics, and entertainment or tech-facing identities that want a bold, engineered voice, while extended paragraphs may feel busy due to the frequent internal breaks.
The repeated cuts and hard angles give the type a mechanical, coded tone—part industrial labeling, part sci‑fi interface. It reads confident and contemporary, with an edgy, street-tech attitude that feels designed for impact rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to merge a straightforward geometric sans foundation with a distinctive stencil/cut motif, creating immediate recognizability and a high-impact graphic texture. The consistent use of slits and diagonal chops suggests a deliberate system for producing a futuristic, industrial signature across the character set.
The interrupted strokes add strong character but also introduce visual noise at smaller sizes; the design benefits from generous size and spacing. The numerals echo the same slit and notch motifs, helping headings and data displays feel cohesive with the letterforms.
