A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and sculpted counters. Many rounded forms are horizontally "sliced" by sharp, straight cut-ins, creating capsule-like bowls and distinctive negative spaces in letters such as O, Q, e, and g. Strokes show pronounced modulation: thick main masses contrast with thinner joins and pointed terminals, especially in diagonals and angled intersections. Curves are smooth and compact, while corners often resolve into crisp wedges, giving the design a machined, logo-ready finish and a lively rhythm in text.
Best suited to large sizes where its distinctive counters and cut details remain clear—headlines, posters, event graphics, and bold packaging. Its graphic presence also makes it a strong candidate for branding and logo work, especially when a retro-tech or sporty edge is desired.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and energetic, combining friendly rounded shapes with aggressive cut details. It reads as bold and attention-seeking, with a slightly quirky, arcade/sci‑fi flavor that turns familiar letterforms into graphic shapes.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a recognizable silhouette, using engineered cut-ins and high modulation to create a signature look. The intent appears to balance geometric friendliness with sharp, futuristic detailing for display typography.
The design leans on strong internal shaping rather than external ornament: counters are intentionally non-standard and often compressed by horizontal notches. Uppercase forms look especially emblematic and display-oriented, while lowercase maintains the same cut-in motif, keeping a consistent voice across cases and figures.
