A chunky, extra-wide sans with heavy geometric construction and sharply cut corners, repeatedly interrupted by horizontal “scanline” slices. Many glyphs include missing bands and wavy breakpoints that create a distorted, stenciled silhouette while keeping the overall letterforms legible. The stroke color is solid and dense, but the interior striping introduces a strong light–dark rhythm across each character, producing an intentionally unstable texture. Curves (C, G, O, S, 0) show the effect most clearly, with layered horizontal cuts that read like motion trails or interference, while straight-sided letters keep a blocky, industrial footprint.
Best suited to large-scale display work where the horizontal slicing can read clearly: posters, headline lockups, album or single artwork, gaming/stream graphics, and event promotions. It can also work for short, punchy packaging callouts or merch graphics where a “signal interference” texture is desirable, but it’s less appropriate for long-form readability.
The font conveys a noisy, hacked-signal attitude—part retro computer display, part kinetic poster lettering. Its stop-start striping and irregular cuts give it a mischievous, experimental energy that feels attention-grabbing and slightly abrasive in a deliberate way.
The design appears intended to fuse a bold, wide grotesk-like base with a deliberate disruption layer, turning familiar letterforms into a graphic effect. The goal is to create instant visual character—like scanlines, speed lines, or digital noise—while retaining enough structure for quick recognition in titles and branding.
The scanline treatment varies from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, non-uniform pattern that can look like jitter or horizontal smear in running text. At smaller sizes the slicing becomes a texture, while at larger sizes it reads as a prominent special effect. Numerals share the same interference motif, reinforcing the display-driven intent.
