A rounded, geometric sans with monoline strokes and soft terminals, consistently interrupted by horizontal cutouts that create a segmented, stencil-like construction. Counters are open and simplified, with circular forms (O, C, G) reading as smooth arcs broken by the same systematic gaps. The rhythm is chunky and high-impact, with generous curves and compact joins; some diagonals and branching strokes (K, M, N, W, X) show slightly irregular, hand-tuned angles that add to the eccentric texture. Numerals echo the same broken-band motif, keeping a cohesive pattern language across the set.
Best suited to display applications where the segmented construction can be a deliberate graphic element—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging accents, and album or event artwork. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a techy, stylized tone is desired and sizes are large enough to preserve clarity.
The repeated “interference” cuts give the face a glitchy, experimental tone—part sci‑fi instrument labeling, part playful display lettering. It feels energetic and unconventional, with a friendly softness from the rounded shapes while still reading as bold and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended as a one-off, attention-grabbing display face built around a consistent horizontal cutout system, turning simple rounded sans shapes into a distinctive, animated texture. The goal is character and memorability over neutrality, using controlled disruption to signal experimentation and play.
The horizontal breaks are frequent enough to become the primary visual signature, producing a lively stripe effect in words and a distinctive texture at larger sizes. In dense text, the segmentation can visually compete with letter recognition, so the design reads most confidently when given space and scale.
