A heavy, geometric display sans built from broad strokes and rounded, near-circular curves. The forms lean on strong horizontals and verticals with softened corners, producing a compact, blocky silhouette while keeping counters generous and clean. Many glyphs incorporate deliberate breaks and inset cuts—most noticeable in E/F/S and several lowercase forms—creating a pseudo-stencil, segmented rhythm without adding contrast. Apertures are generally tight and the overall spacing feels sturdy and even, emphasizing solid word shapes over delicate detail.
Best suited to large sizes where the segmented details can be appreciated: headlines, posters, product packaging, event graphics, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when high visual impact is desired, though the stylized cuts make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The cut-in segments and chunky rounded geometry give the face a distinctly retro-futuristic flavor, reminiscent of sci‑fi labeling, arcade-era graphics, and industrial wayfinding. It reads confident and engineered, but the softened curves keep it approachable and playful rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to merge strong geometric legibility with a distinctive, engineered signature created by stencil-like interruptions. Its proportions and simplified construction prioritize bold recognition and a memorable texture in display typography.
The uppercase set is especially impactful, with circular letters (O/Q) reading as bold rings and diagonals (K/X/Y) kept wide and stable. The lowercase maintains the same geometric logic with simplified, single-storey structures and consistent stroke terminals, helping the font stay cohesive in mixed-case settings.
