A geometric, display-oriented alphabet built from heavy, simplified silhouettes that are repeatedly interrupted by narrow vertical slits and occasional angular notches. Counters are largely collapsed, producing solid masses with cut-in channels that suggest a stencil or segmented construction rather than conventional interior openings. Curves are clean and circular where present (notably in C, O, Q), while vertical stems and squared terminals keep the rhythm rigid and architectural. Across the set, spacing and sidebearing behavior reads uneven by design, with some letters feeling wider or more compact depending on how the internal cuts reshape the silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where its bold silhouettes and striped stencil pattern can function as a central graphic element. It can also work for signage and event titling, particularly at larger sizes where the internal cut details stay crisp and intentional.
The overall tone is assertive and graphic, combining a vintage Deco/industrial feel with a slightly mechanical, coded look created by the recurring vertical incisions. It reads like signage or titling meant to be seen at a distance, prioritizing punch and pattern over traditional readability.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through solid forms while introducing character and differentiation via consistent vertical cutouts. It aims to evoke an engineered, decorative aesthetic that feels both retro and industrial, trading conventional counterforms for a distinctive, high-contrast surface pattern.
In running text the repeated interior slits form a strong stripe motif that can dominate texture, especially in words with many verticals. The numeral set follows the same solid-and-cut strategy, giving figures a poster-like presence that pairs well with short, emphatic copy.
