A heavy display face built from sharp, geometric silhouettes with consistent internal cut-outs that carve each letter into faceted segments. Curves are compact and rounded but interrupted by wedge-like voids and notches, while straight strokes terminate in crisp angles, giving the alphabet a fractured, stencil-like construction. The forms read as mostly sans with occasional Gothic-leaning suggestions in the lowercase, and the rhythm alternates between broad bowls and narrow verticals for a distinctly sculpted, variable presence. Numerals and capitals follow the same sliced logic, maintaining a cohesive texture across sets.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its cut-out structure can be appreciated—posters, headlines, branding marks, title cards, and packaging accents. It works especially well in high-contrast applications and spacious layouts that preserve the internal separations and distinctive silhouettes.
The repeated slashes and hollowed wedges create a moody, high-drama tone that feels cinematic and slightly ominous. Its sharp breaks and shadowy negative spaces suggest mystery, spectacle, and a stylized retro-futurist edge rather than everyday neutrality.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual impact through a unified system of carved voids and angular facets, creating a shadowed, sculptural look without relying on outlines. The goal seems to be a memorable display texture that reads clearly at large sizes while projecting a dramatic, stylized personality.
The design relies on interior voids for character and contrast, so small sizes or dense settings can cause counters and cuts to merge visually. In larger sizes the segmented construction becomes a clear, decorative motif and produces a striking black-and-white pattern on the line.
