A heavy geometric sans with broad proportions and emphatic, simplified forms. Many glyphs feature consistent horizontal stencil-like cutouts that interrupt bowls and strokes, producing a segmented rhythm across the line. Curves are largely circular and smooth, while joins and terminals tend toward squared, engineered shapes; diagonals in letters like V, W, X, and Z are sharp and clean. Counters are generous and open, and the lowercase keeps a straightforward, constructed feel with single-storey shapes and compact apertures.
Best suited to display work where the stencil breaks and strong geometry can be appreciated—headlines, poster typography, titles, logos, and bold branding systems. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers in tech-themed layouts when set at sizes large enough to preserve the internal cut details.
The repeating cutout motif creates a distinctly futuristic, industrial tone—part sci‑fi interface, part engineered signage. Its bold, segmented silhouette feels confident and mechanical, suggesting speed, precision, and a contemporary tech aesthetic.
The design appears intended to merge a sturdy geometric sans base with a signature segmented cut, creating an instantly recognizable, modernist-meets-sci‑fi voice. The consistent interruptions across letters and figures suggest a focus on visual identity and pattern cohesion rather than neutral text reading.
The cut positions are highly regular, reading almost like a built-in strike or banding that ties the alphabet together. Numerals echo the same construction, with clear, graphic silhouettes suited to large sizes where the internal breaks become a defining texture.
