A rounded, geometric sans with a modular construction and repeated horizontal cutouts running through most glyphs, creating a stencil-like, segmented rhythm. Strokes are monolinear with softened terminals and broad curves, while counters tend to be open and simplified. The cut bands are consistent in placement, producing a strong stripe motif across capitals, lowercase, and figures; diagonals (as in K, V, W, X, Y, Z) are also interrupted, reinforcing the broken, assembled feel. Overall spacing reads generous and the letterforms feel wide and airy despite the heavy visual interruptions.
Best suited to display settings where the stripe/cutout motif can read as a deliberate graphic device—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and event promotions. It can also work for short UI-style labels or tech-themed graphics when used at larger sizes, but extended paragraphs will be more effective as a stylistic accent than as primary body copy.
The recurring breaks give the typeface a quirky, experimental personality that feels part sci‑fi interface, part signage stencil, and part playful “glitch” effect. It communicates motion and disruption while staying friendly due to the rounded geometry, making the tone energetic and attention-seeking rather than serious or formal.
The design appears intended to merge a friendly rounded sans skeleton with a consistent, decorative interruption that functions like a stencil or scanline effect. The goal is likely to create instant visual character and a recognizable texture across a wordmark or headline while keeping letterforms simple and geometric underneath.
In continuous text, the horizontal segmentation becomes a dominant texture that can reduce immediate word-shape recognition, especially at smaller sizes. The figures and rounded letters (O, C, G, 0, 8, 9) showcase the motif most clearly, creating a strong, uniform pattern when set in lines or blocks.
