A heavy, geometric display face built from bold, simplified shapes that frequently collapse counters into solid masses. Curves read as broad ovals and semicircles, while many joins terminate in sharp, triangular cuts or wedge-like notches, creating a hybrid of rounded and angular geometry. Several glyphs use partial strokes and open terminals (notably in forms like E, F, S, and some numerals), producing a stencil-like, segmented construction. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across characters, giving the line a syncopated rhythm rather than a strict, uniform grid feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, wordmarks, packaging, and entertainment branding where its bold silhouettes can carry the message. It performs especially well when used sparingly, with ample whitespace and simple supporting typography.
The overall tone is assertive and stylized—part sci-fi signage, part playful 1970s/1980s display aesthetics. Its solid, counterless look reads as loud and graphic, while the triangular incisions add a dynamic, slightly edgy energy that keeps the texture from feeling purely monolithic.
The design appears intended to maximize visual punch through solid, counter-collapsing forms and a repeatable system of wedge cuts and modular segments. The goal seems to be a distinctive display texture that feels engineered and graphic rather than traditionally typographic.
At text sizes the closed counters and segmented strokes reduce letter differentiation, so readability depends strongly on generous sizing and clear context. The distinctive triangular motifs recur across multiple glyphs (including V/W/X/Y and several diagonals), giving the set a consistent, emblematic voice.
