A display-oriented slab serif with broad proportions, sharply cut terminals, and heavy horizontal slabs that read as stepped caps. The letterforms are constructed from segmented strokes: thick bands are interrupted by thin, hairline connectors that create deliberate breaks through bowls, stems, and crossbars. Curves are present but handled as flattened, geometric arcs with clipped joins, giving O/C/G-like shapes a streamlined, machined feel. Spacing and rhythm are energetic, with many glyphs showing internal notches and split strokes that create a jittery, engineered texture across lines of text.
Best suited to large-scale typography where the cut-and-bridged details can remain crisp: headlines, posters, event graphics, title cards, and distinctive wordmarks. It can also work as a secondary accent face for tech, gaming, or experimental editorial layouts when used sparingly.
The overall tone feels techno-industrial and intentionally disruptive, like signage seen through interference or a digitally “sliced” veneer. Its segmented construction adds a sense of motion and tension, projecting a futuristic, experimental attitude rather than traditional readability or warmth.
The design appears intended to hybridize slab-serif mass with a modular, interrupted construction, turning classic serif cues into a contemporary, engineered display style. Its systematic slicing suggests a goal of creating a recognizable “glitch” signature while maintaining enough structure to keep letterforms legible at display sizes.
The font’s visual identity is driven by consistent horizontal “slices” and hairline bridges that unify uppercase, lowercase, and numerals into a single system. In smaller sizes the breaks may visually merge or disappear, while at larger sizes they become a distinctive patterning element that can double as a graphic motif.
