A heavy, geometric display face with squared slab terminals and conspicuous internal cutouts that segment many strokes. Curves are broadly rounded but interrupted by horizontal and vertical gaps, creating a constructed, modular rhythm across the alphabet. Stems are thick and compact, with narrow joins and occasional hairline connectors that emphasize the separation between main masses and slab-like caps. Letter widths vary noticeably, and counters tend to be tight or partially occluded, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited for large-scale applications such as posters, headlines, logotypes, and punchy branding where its segmented details can be clearly seen. It can also work for signage or product graphics that benefit from a mechanical, constructed aesthetic, while extended small-size text may feel busy due to the frequent internal breaks.
The overall tone is mechanical and engineered, with a strong industrial and retro-futurist flavor. Its segmented construction reads like a hybrid of stencil logic and modular signage, giving it an experimental, gadget-like personality that feels bold and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a slab-serif framework through a modular, cut-and-assembled construction, prioritizing graphic impact and a distinctive texture over neutral readability. Its repeated gaps and squared terminals suggest a deliberate system meant to feel engineered, bold, and display-forward.
The distinctive mid-stroke breaks become especially prominent in rounded forms (C, G, O, Q) and in multi-stem letters (M, N, W), where the design leans into a scaffolded look. Numerals follow the same constructed logic, maintaining a consistent, block-driven silhouette.
