A heavy, block-constructed sans built from broad rectangular forms with sharp corners and frequent internal cutouts. Many letters appear as solid slabs interrupted by narrow vertical or horizontal slits, giving a stencil-like, segmented construction. Counters are reduced to small notches or slots, and several diagonals are expressed as triangular bites or angled gaps rather than continuous strokes. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, but the overall rhythm stays consistent through repeated use of straight edges, flat terminals, and high-density black shapes.
Best suited to large-scale headlines, posters, and punchy branding where its monolithic shapes and cutout detailing can be appreciated. It also fits album artwork, event graphics, gaming interfaces, and sci-fi or industrial-themed titles where a hard-edged, engineered aesthetic is desired.
The tone is assertive and mechanical, with a dystopian, techno-industrial feel. The sliced apertures and segmented joins suggest digital interference or engineered marking systems, creating a cold, forceful voice suited to high-impact display settings.
The design appears intended as an experimental display sans that prioritizes impact and a signature cutout system over conventional readability. Its modular slabs and slit counters read like fabricated signage or stenciled industrial labeling, aiming to deliver a distinctive futuristic voice in short text.
At smaller sizes the narrow interior slits and minimal counters can begin to close up, while the heaviest characters read more as silhouettes than traditional letterforms. In larger display use, the recurring cut-line motif becomes a strong branding element and gives the face a distinctive, coded personality.
