A geometric sans with heavy, sculpted forms and pronounced cut-ins that create a segmented, stencil-like flow through many bowls and rounds. Curves are broadly rounded, while joins and terminals often sharpen into angled wedges, producing a dynamic rhythm and a slightly aerodynamic silhouette. Counters tend to be small and frequently interrupted by horizontal “slots,” and several glyphs lean on simplified construction (single-storey a and g, open apertures) for a clean, graphic read. Figures follow the same logic, mixing rounded loops with decisive straight cuts and compact internal space.
Best suited to headlines and short text where its cutout geometry can read clearly and provide personality. It works well for tech branding, entertainment titles, poster typography, packaging callouts, and signage or wayfinding where a distinctive, contemporary voice is desired.
The overall tone feels futuristic and engineered, like signage for a sci‑fi interface or a retro-tech product identity. The repeated cutouts and bold geometry add a playful, slightly game-like character while still reading as purposeful and modern.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly recognizable, modern display sans by combining geometric construction with deliberate internal cutouts that add motion and texture. Its simplified lowercase and consistent slot motif suggest a focus on branding impact and visual cohesion across letters and numerals.
The distinctive horizontal cutouts unify the set and add strong brandable texture, especially in rounded letters such as B, O, Q, and e. At smaller sizes those interior interruptions and tight counters may become the dominant feature, shifting the design from general-purpose to more overtly graphic.
