A heavy, geometric sans with segmented construction: many strokes are split by horizontal cut-ins that read like stencil bridges or scanline gaps. Forms are built from broad rectangular masses with sharply chamfered corners, producing octagonal curves in letters like C, G, O, and Q. Counters are tight and often partially closed, and several glyphs introduce thin hairline diagonals or notches that heighten the engineered, cut-and-assembled feel. Overall rhythm is punchy and dense, with blocky proportions and a consistent system of breaks and bevels across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display settings where its segmented geometry can be read at size: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging titles, game or sci‑fi interface elements, and event graphics. It can also work for short subheads or labels when you want a strong industrial/tech texture, but the cut-in bands make it less appropriate for long-form body copy.
The font conveys a gritty sci‑fi and industrial mood—like signage cut from metal, UI typography for a dystopian interface, or lettering seen through scanlines. Its stark interruptions and hard angles feel assertive and slightly aggressive, prioritizing impact and character over neutral readability.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a bold geometric sans through a modular, stencil/scanline system—using chamfered corners and repeated horizontal breaks to create a distinctive, machine-made voice while retaining recognizable letter structures.
The distinctive horizontal banding becomes a strong texture in longer text, creating a striped cadence that can dominate the page. Rounded characters are rendered as faceted shapes rather than smooth bowls, and the mix of solid slabs with occasional razor-thin diagonals adds tension and a sense of motion.
