A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle masses and deliberate internal cutouts that split strokes into separate modules. Curves are broad and bulbous, terminals are clean and blunt, and many letters use vertical “spines” paired with offset bowls, creating a strong black-and-white rhythm. Counters are often interrupted by horizontal or vertical gaps, yielding a stencil-like texture and a highly graphic silhouette that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works best for headlines, logos, packaging, posters, album or event titling, and short statements where its segmented construction can be appreciated. It can also suit wayfinding or themed signage when used at generous sizes with comfortable tracking. For long-form text or small UI sizes, the internal breaks and dense forms may reduce clarity.
This font projects a punchy, poster-forward attitude with a distinct retro-industrial flavor. Its broken, segmented shapes feel coded and mechanical, giving it a playful but slightly mysterious tone—part stencil, part signage, part modular display.
The design appears intended for high-impact display use where distinctive texture matters as much as legibility. The consistent system of cutouts and split strokes suggests a modular, stencil-inspired concept meant to create memorable word shapes and a strong graphic footprint.
The typeface relies on negative-space “slices” that frequently bisect bowls and stems, producing a distinctive striped cadence in words. Numerals and punctuation follow the same cutout logic, reinforcing a cohesive, system-driven look.
