A tall, condensed display face built from narrow vertical bars and small rectangular breaks, creating a consistently striped, segmented surface across the alphabet. Strokes alternate between solid stems and punctuating gaps, producing a rhythmic pattern that reads like cutouts rather than continuous outlines. Curves are simplified into rounded rectangular arcs, while diagonals (notably in A, V, W, X, Y, Z) are rendered as paired or clustered slanted bars, emphasizing a modular construction. Counters tend to be narrow and vertically oriented, and the overall silhouette is clean and architectural with strong black–white interruption within each letterform.
Best used for large-scale headlines, posters, and branding where the segmented striping can be appreciated as a graphic motif. It also suits logotypes, album/event titling, and packaging accents that want a sleek, engineered look. For longer passages, it works more as short bursts—subheads, pull quotes, or labels—than as sustained reading copy.
The repeated slits and bar segments give the font a retro-futurist, Art Deco-tinged tone with an industrial, machine-made attitude. It feels kinetic and flashy—more suited to attention-grabbing statements than quiet text—while still maintaining an orderly, engineered precision.
The design appears intended to transform simple geometric letterforms into a patterned display texture, using deliberate interruptions and parallel bars to create a signature look. The goal is likely high visual impact with a distinctive vertical rhythm, evoking signage, decorative titling, and stylized technical aesthetics.
Spacing and texture are driven as much by the internal striping as by the outer shapes, so word images form a distinctive vertical cadence. At smaller sizes the internal breaks can merge into visual noise, while at larger sizes the patterning becomes a key graphic feature.
