A heavy, geometric sans with squared shoulders and broad proportions, repeatedly interrupted by horizontal cutouts that slice through stems, bowls, and crossbars. The cut lines form stacked stripes that vary in thickness and position from glyph to glyph, creating a deliberately broken, scanline-like rhythm across the alphabet. Curves are compact and simplified (notably in C/O/S), terminals are generally blunt, and counters stay large enough to remain legible despite the segmentation. Numerals and lowercase echo the same patterning, with the interruption bands often concentrated around the midline and baseline, producing an intentionally uneven, experimental texture in text.
Best suited to punchy display work where the scanline interruptions can be appreciated: headlines, posters, cover art, streaming/album graphics, and bold campaign lockups. It can also work for tech- or gaming-adjacent interfaces and splash screens when used sparingly and at generous sizes.
The repeated horizontal breaks read like interference, motion blur, or digital scanning, giving the font a glitchy, high-energy tone. It feels playful and slightly chaotic while still anchored by sturdy, industrial letterforms, suggesting tech-centric, synthetic, or cyber-inspired styling.
The design appears intended to merge a sturdy, wide grotesque base with a deliberate interruption motif, turning familiar letterforms into a graphic pattern. The goal is likely immediate visual impact and a distinctive, digital-interference signature rather than quiet readability.
Because the striping is baked into each glyph rather than applied uniformly, the overall word image shimmers and varies across characters, amplifying the novelty effect. The strong mass of the letterforms keeps short headlines readable, but the internal cutouts create busy texture at smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs.
