A heavy, geometric sans with squared proportions softened by rounded corners. Letterforms are built from broad, uniform strokes and frequent internal cut-ins that create a stencil-like construction, often opening counters and adding notches at joins and terminals. Curves are compact and controlled, with a squarish O/0 and blocky bowls; diagonals are sharp and decisive, giving forms like K, V, W, X, Y a crisp, engineered rhythm. The overall texture is dense and dark, with deliberate gaps and separations that keep large shapes from clogging.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, titles, logos, packaging, and entertainment graphics where its stencil-like cuts and bold mass can be appreciated. It can also work for short UI labels or product markings in tech and industrial contexts, especially at larger sizes where the internal breaks stay clear.
The design reads as futuristic and industrial, suggesting machinery, control panels, and engineered labeling. Its cut, segmented details add a tactical, sci‑fi tone while maintaining a clean, modern sans attitude.
The font appears designed to blend a sturdy geometric sans base with purposeful cutouts, creating an engineered, high-impact look that feels technical and contemporary. The construction emphasizes distinctive silhouettes and a strong black footprint for attention-grabbing typography.
The distinctive notches and broken strokes create strong personality and help differentiate similar shapes at display sizes, but they also introduce visual noise that can build up in long text. Numerals match the same modular logic, with squared curves and consistent cut-ins that keep the set cohesive.
