A geometric sans with wide proportions and pronounced thick–thin contrast, built from bold, rounded outer strokes paired with crisp internal cut-ins. Many forms use horizontal "band" counters and slit-like apertures, creating a stencil-like rhythm across both caps and lowercase. Curves are smooth and circular (notably O/C/G), while joins and terminals often taper or pinch, giving letters like M, W, V, and X a sharp, sculpted profile. The overall color is strong and graphic, with distinctive negative-space shaping that stays consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where the cut-in counters and contrast can read as a deliberate graphic motif. It works well for logos, packaging, and branding systems seeking a futuristic or retro-tech voice, and can add character to posters, event titles, and splashy UI/landing-page typography. At smaller sizes, the unusual apertures and banded counters may become the dominant feature, so generous sizing and spacing will help preserve clarity.
The typeface conveys a futuristic, display-oriented tone with a playful, engineered edge. Its repeated cutaway motifs and high-contrast bands feel techy and retro at once—suggestive of sci‑fi titles, arcade-era graphics, or modern UI branding that wants personality. The dramatic counters and tapered joins add a slightly experimental, attention-grabbing character.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through a consistent system of internal cutouts and banded counters, producing a distinctive, high-impact texture. By combining rounded bowls with tapered joins and engineered-looking apertures, it aims to feel modern and constructed while remaining legible in display contexts.
Round letters frequently feature a centered horizontal counter that reads almost like an inserted capsule, and several glyphs show deliberate narrowing at joints that hints at ink-trap or notch logic. Numerals follow the same system: 0 and 8 are strongly banded, while 1 is more rectilinear and monoline in spirit, reinforcing a constructed, modular look. In text, the distinctive apertures create a lively texture and emphasize word shapes over fine detail.
