A stylized slab serif with dramatic banding: thick black strokes are sliced by crisp horizontal voids that run through most glyphs, creating a segmented, high-impact texture. Forms are wide and often slightly extended, with blocky slab terminals and occasional sharp joins. Curves are simplified into bold arcs with cut-in counters, and several letters include small spur-like notches or tapered hooks that emphasize the constructed, mechanical feel. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the set, contributing to an irregular, kinetic rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited for display applications where the segmented striping can be appreciated—posters, big headlines, branding marks, packaging callouts, and entertainment graphics. It works especially well for short phrases, titles, and logo-style wordmarks where its unconventional slab construction becomes the main visual hook.
The overall tone is playful but abrasive—like a retro-futurist display face disrupted by scanline interference. The repeated horizontal breaks read as motion, distortion, or industrial layering, giving the font a rebellious, experimental voice suited to attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a slab-serif foundation through deliberate interruption: horizontal cuts, exaggerated proportions, and uneven widths combine to create a distinctive, “broken” industrial aesthetic. It prioritizes graphic impact and texture over neutrality, aiming for a memorable, stylized voice in display settings.
The mid-stroke gaps are a dominant structural motif and can visually merge across adjacent letters, producing strong horizontal striping in text. Because the internal slicing reduces continuous stroke connectivity, readability depends heavily on size and contrast; it performs best when allowed generous scale and clear reproduction.
