A geometric, display-oriented sans with a monoline feel and pronounced squared curves. Many joins and terminals are cut with angular, wedge-like notches and short horizontal “shelves,” creating a segmented, stencil-like rhythm. Bowls tend toward squarish ovals, counters are open and clean, and several characters feature distinctive inset cuts or slabby feet that emphasize a constructed, modular look. Overall spacing and proportions read wide and stable, with strong baseline presence and clear, high-contrast silhouettes against the page.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, title cards, and brand marks where its distinctive notch-and-shelf detailing can be appreciated. It also fits playful tech, arcade, and sci‑fi themed graphics, as well as packaging or event collateral that benefits from a bold, decorative voice.
The cut-in terminals and modular construction give the font a playful, sci‑fi flavored personality with a retro electronic edge. It feels experimental and puzzle-like—more about character and texture than neutrality—while still staying legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, attention-grabbing display style built from simple geometric strokes, using consistent cut-ins and squared curves to create a memorable, futuristic texture in running words.
The alphabet shows deliberate idiosyncrasies across glyphs (notched strokes, occasional extended bars, and stylized diagonals) that create a lively, irregular texture in words. Numerals follow the same built, segmented logic, keeping the set visually cohesive for headlines and short strings.
