A heavy, geometric display face built from blunt verticals and large rounded bowls, repeatedly interrupted by narrow, consistent vertical slits. Counters are mostly collapsed into solid forms, so letter identity relies on silhouette and rhythmic cut-ins rather than interior space. Terminals are squared and abrupt, curves are simplified into broad arcs, and proportions feel slightly expanded, giving the alphabet a poster-like footprint. Overall color is dense and uniform, with the recurring slits creating a mechanical cadence across words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, and branding marks where the segmented texture can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging, event graphics, and album art that benefits from a technical or industrial edge.
The repeated cut lines and solid massing give the font a machine-made, industrial tone—part stencil, part sci‑fi interface. It reads as bold and uncompromising, with a crafted “coded” texture that feels technical and slightly retro-futuristic.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum graphic presence through solid silhouettes while adding identity via repeated vertical cutouts. The goal is a distinctive, patterned display look that remains recognizable even with largely closed counters.
The distinctive vertical incisions create strong patterning at text level, which can become the dominant visual feature in longer passages. Digit forms match the same solid-and-slit construction, keeping a consistent voice for numbering and short labels.
