A broad, geometric sans with heavy horizontal emphasis and a noticeably modular construction. Strokes are mostly straight and squared-off, but many joins and counters are interrupted by rounded “bite” cutouts that create a consistent scalloped, ink‑trap-like motif across the alphabet and figures. Curves are simplified and often segmented, while diagonals appear sharp and engineered, giving the face a mechanical rhythm. The overall texture is bold and high-impact, with busy interior shaping that reads as deliberate negative-space detailing rather than smooth continuous outlines.
Best suited to short, bold settings where the distinctive cutouts can be appreciated—headlines, poster typography, logo wordmarks, packaging accents, and title cards. It also works well for tech-leaning or playful themes in branding and display UI, but will be most legible and effective at larger sizes.
The repeated cutout/capsule detailing gives the font a mischievous, game-like tone—part sci‑fi interface, part novelty display. It feels energetic and slightly irreverent, with a retro-futuristic flavor that prioritizes character and pattern over neutrality.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that differentiates itself through a repeated negative-space motif and modular, engineered geometry. Its goal is to create a strong, recognizable texture and a futuristic/novelty voice while retaining a clear sans skeleton.
In running text the interior cutouts become the dominant visual signature, producing a patterned gray value that can feel dense at smaller sizes. The design’s wide stance and frequent horizontal bars increase visual stability, while the unconventional counter shaping makes individual letters more distinctive than minimalist sans forms.
