A heavy, geometric display face built from rounded rectangles and near-circular bowls, with many characters bisected by a thin horizontal slit that creates split counters. The silhouettes are mostly monoline in mass but rely on sharp cut-ins, notches, and occasional squared terminals to form openings and joins, producing a stencil-like construction. Curves are smooth and inflated, while internal white shapes read as elongated ovals or wedges that shift position from glyph to glyph, giving the set an intentionally irregular rhythm. Lowercase forms are large and compact, with short ascenders/descenders and simplified structures that prioritize bold shape over fine detail; numerals follow the same modular, cut-out logic.
Best suited to large-size display work where the split-counter motif can read clearly—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, album/cover graphics, and event visuals. It can also work for short UI or game title treatments, but extended text will feel busy and may lose clarity at smaller sizes.
The repeated “slice” motif and bulbous geometry give the type a playful, experimental tone with a sci‑fi or arcade feel. It reads as intentionally odd and attention-seeking, leaning more toward graphic personality than conventional legibility. The overall effect is friendly yet slightly robotic, like a retro-futurist logo system.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, modular look by carving a consistent horizontal “scanline” through otherwise simple geometric letterforms. The goal seems to be instant recognizability and a strong graphic texture, favoring novelty and visual rhythm over traditional text readability.
The horizontal cut-through becomes a strong visual signature and creates striking negative-space patterns in words, but it also competes with small details in tighter letters (e.g., forms with multiple vertical strokes). Spacing appears generous and the wide, blocky shapes create a steady, poster-like color on the page.
