A heavy, wide sans with squarish proportions softened by rounded corners and gently sheared terminals. Many letters feature horizontal incisions or slit-like counters that create a layered, cut-out effect inside bowls and across joins, giving the shapes a slightly stencil-like, engineered feel. Curves are broad and flattened rather than fully circular, and the overall rhythm is compact and blocky with strong horizontal emphasis. Numerals and capitals read as uniform, display-oriented forms with simplified internal spaces and consistent visual mass.
Best suited to display settings where its width and internal cut details can read clearly—headlines, posters, event graphics, product packaging, and brand marks. It also works well for tech, gaming, and sports identities that benefit from a strong, engineered silhouette.
The overall tone is bold and confident with a retro-futurist flavor, evoking arcade, sci-fi interface, and sports branding aesthetics. The internal cut lines add a synthetic, machined character that feels energetic and slightly aggressive while remaining playful due to the rounded geometry.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive interior detail system that differentiates it from standard geometric sans forms. Its wide stance, softened corners, and carved counters suggest a purpose-built display face aimed at high-energy branding and attention-grabbing typography.
The distinctive mid-stroke slits can reduce interior clarity at smaller sizes, but they create a memorable texture in headlines and short phrases. The wide stance and flattened curves produce strong word shapes and a solid, poster-like presence.
