A heavy, rounded sans with an unmistakably sculpted, modular construction. Strokes are thick and uniform, with flattened terminals and frequent interior cutouts that read like ink traps or stencil breaks, giving many letters a split-bowl or notched feel. Counters are small and often geometric (oval/slot-like), apertures are tight, and joins are smoothed into broad curves that keep the overall silhouette soft despite the aggressive weight. The alphabet mixes highly simplified forms with distinctive alternates in key shapes (notably S, W, and several lowercase bowls), producing a deliberately idiosyncratic rhythm in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, logos, posters, product packaging, and entertainment or gaming-related graphics. It can work in UI or signage when set large, where the distinctive cutouts and tight apertures remain clear.
The tone is bold and futuristic with a playful, arcade-like personality. Its carved-in negative spaces and rounded geometry evoke sci‑fi interfaces and retro tech branding, projecting energy and attitude rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly recognizable, brand-forward sans with a techno/retro voice, using notches and split counters to create visual intrigue and a strong, repeatable texture across lines of text.
Spacing appears generous relative to the dense letterforms, helping counters and notches stay legible. The numerals and uppercase carry the strongest display character, while the lowercase maintains the same sculpted logic, which can make longer passages feel graphic and pattern-driven.
