A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and tight, purposeful detailing. Many rounded forms are interrupted by horizontal breaks that read like stencil cuts or ink-trap notches, creating strong internal negative shapes in letters such as C, G, O, Q, and e. Strokes are largely uniform with crisp terminals, squared joins, and a mix of straight-sided and smoothly curved bowls. The rhythm is blocky and compact, with simplified counters and slightly condensed apertures that keep the overall texture dense and graphic at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a strong graphic voice is needed. The segmented shapes and dense color make it particularly effective for tech-leaning identities, sports or automotive styling, and signage-like applications where distinct silhouettes carry the message.
The repeated cut-ins and segmented bowls give the face a mechanical, engineered feel—part tech interface, part industrial stencil. Its bold geometry reads confident and energetic, suggesting speed, utility, and a modern, constructed aesthetic rather than softness or editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to modernize a geometric sans through systematic cutouts that add both character and functional-looking detailing. By repeating the breaks across multiple glyphs, it builds a recognizable motif that differentiates the face while preserving a straightforward sans structure for bold display typography.
The most distinctive signature is the consistent midline splitting of many circular and semi-circular shapes, which can resemble a horizontal "belt" through the glyphs. Numerals follow the same language, with round figures like 8 and 9 showing carved internal openings that reinforce the engineered look. The texture is striking in words, where the recurring notches create a patterned banding across lines of text.
