A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded bowls, built from simplified, modular forms. Many joins and terminals use straight cuts and deliberate gaps that read as stencil-like breaks or ink-trap-inspired notches, giving the letterforms a segmented, engineered feel. Counters are generous and largely circular/oval, while diagonals and horizontals are kept blunt and monoline, producing a steady, graphic rhythm. The overall texture is punchy and compact, with distinctive interruptions in strokes that become a defining visual motif across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best used for large-scale typography where the segmented details can be clearly seen, such as posters, headlines, branding wordmarks, and packaging. It can also work for UI headers or short labels in tech-themed interfaces, but the distinctive breaks suggest avoiding long body text at small sizes.
The segmented detailing and sturdy geometry create a forward-looking, engineered tone that feels suited to technology and manufacturing contexts. At the same time, the rounded shapes and quirky cut-ins add a playful, game-like character that keeps it from feeling purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to fuse a solid geometric sans foundation with a signature system of breaks and cut-ins, creating a memorable display face that signals modernity and engineered precision. The consistent modular construction suggests a focus on strong silhouettes and instant recognizability in branding and titling.
The cutaway motif is especially noticeable in characters like E, F, S, Z, and several numerals, where horizontal bars or curves are interrupted to create a recognizable signature. The design maintains a consistent, constructed logic across the set, helping the unconventional details read intentional rather than distressed.
