A compact, geometric sans built from chunky vertical stems and tight widths, punctuated by very thin connector strokes. Corners are consistently rounded, while bowls and counters often appear as small rounded-rectangle “slots,” giving many letters a cut-out, stencil-like feel. The design mixes heavy blocks with hairline uprights and occasional open-sided forms (notably in letters with split terminals), creating a clearly segmented rhythm and a mechanical, modular texture in text. Numerals follow the same system: blocky silhouettes with small interior apertures and occasional hairline elements that add sharp contrast and distinctiveness.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where its modular forms and cut-out counters can be appreciated. It can also work well for sci‑fi or tech-themed branding, titles, and short UI labels at sufficiently large sizes.
The overall tone is retro-futuristic and industrial, evoking mid-century sci‑fi titling, arcade-era graphics, and utilitarian signage. Its strict geometry and cut-out counters feel engineered and technical, while the rounded corners keep it friendly and slightly playful rather than austere.
The design appears intended to merge a condensed, space-efficient footprint with a distinctive modular construction, using rounded-rectangle apertures and hairline connectors to create a futuristic, engineered voice that stands apart from conventional sans typography.
The heavy-and-hairline pairing produces a strong “built” look that reads best at larger sizes, where the thin strokes and slot counters stay clear. Spacing appears intentionally compact, reinforcing a dense, display-driven texture.
