A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle outer contours and tightly controlled counters. Strokes present as solid slabs interrupted by thin interior cuts and notches that act like ink-traps or stencil breaks, creating a distinctive vertical seam motif in many glyphs. Curves are minimized into superelliptic corners; bowls and apertures are compact, producing a dense, modular texture. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s geometry, and the numerals follow the same squared, segmented construction for a highly unified, mechanical rhythm.
Best suited to large-scale display work where its segmented construction can read clearly: headlines, posters, packaging, title cards, and strong logo wordmarks. It also fits tech, gaming, motorsport, and industrial-themed identities where a fabricated, modular texture supports the message.
The overall tone is forceful and engineered—part retro-futurist display, part industrial signage. The internal cuts add a technical, fabricated feel, while the rounded corners keep it from reading as purely brutalist. It projects confidence, speed, and a slightly militaristic or sci‑fi edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a monolithic silhouette, while adding differentiation via deliberate interior cuts that suggest stenciling, machining, or ink-trap detailing. The consistent rounded-rectangle geometry aims for a cohesive, futuristic system across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
The narrow apertures and segmented joins create strong character at large sizes but visually tighten word shapes in longer lines. The repeated interior seams become a prominent patterning element, especially in uppercase settings and in glyphs with vertical stems.
