A tall, tightly condensed display face with monoline strokes and prominent vertical emphasis. Each glyph is bisected by a consistent horizontal gap, creating an inline/split effect that reads like a mechanical stencil cut through the middle. Curves are rounded but restrained, counters are narrow, and terminals are mostly blunt, giving the forms a rigid, engineered rhythm. The punctuation and numerals follow the same split-bar motif, keeping the texture uniform across text.
Best suited for short, high-impact display settings such as posters, cover titles, brand marks, and themed signage where the split-bar styling can be a defining visual hook. It can also work for labels or interface headings when used large enough for the midline gap to remain clearly legible.
The overall tone feels industrial and slightly ominous, combining a utilitarian stencil attitude with an experimental, stylized disruption through the midline break. It evokes signage, machinery, and retro-futuristic display typography, with a quirky edge that keeps it from reading purely functional.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal width while adding a signature, disruptive inline cut that turns otherwise simple condensed forms into a memorable graphic system.
Because the midline break is strong and ever-present, the face creates a distinctive horizontal banding across lines of text, especially noticeable in longer settings. The condensed proportions amplify density and height, making the texture read more like a pattern at smaller sizes.
