A very wide, all-caps–friendly display sans with extreme thick–thin contrast and frequent horizontal cut-outs that split bowls and counters into bands. Strokes are mostly monolinear in the thin parts with abrupt transitions into heavy slabs, creating a crisp, mechanical rhythm. Many glyphs show offset or doubled contours and partial outlines that read like a built-in shadow/echo, especially along vertical stems, giving the letterforms a layered, dimensional edge. Curves are smooth and geometric, terminals tend toward sharp, tapered points, and spacing feels open due to the expanded proportions and simplified interior shapes.
Best suited to large-format typography such as posters, event titles, branding wordmarks, album/cover art, and tech-themed campaign graphics. It also works well for short UI or game-title treatments where a futuristic, engineered feel is desired, rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is high-tech and stylized, suggesting digital interference, sci‑fi interfaces, or engineered signage. The sliced counters and shadowed edges add tension and motion, producing a dramatic, slightly aggressive voice that feels more experimental than neutral.
The design appears intended to fuse an expanded geometric skeleton with intentional cut-outs and a built-in shadowed/echo contour to create depth and a sense of digital distortion. The combination of extreme contrast and sliced counters prioritizes visual impact and theme over text economy, positioning it as a distinctive display face.
Legibility is strongest at medium-to-large sizes where the cut-outs and shadowed offsets remain distinct; at smaller sizes the fine hairlines and internal breaks may visually collapse. Numerals and rounded letters (C, G, O, S, 2–9) emphasize the banded, hollowed look, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) lean into sharp, knife-like joins.
