A heavy, compact display face built from broad, rounded rectangles and wedge-like terminals. Many letters use slit-like apertures and collapsed counters, creating a solid, cut-out look with horizontal “gills” running through bowls and strokes. Curves are smooth but abruptly clipped at joins, with occasional notch/ink-trap details that sharpen the silhouettes. The rhythm is wide and blocky, with strong horizontal emphasis and simplified interior structure that favors mass over open readability.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, logos, title treatments, posters, and bold packaging panels. It can also work for game UI labels or sci-fi themed interfaces where the segmented, cut-out texture reinforces a technological aesthetic. Use generous size and spacing when clarity is needed, as the filled interiors and slit apertures are optimized for display impact rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is futuristic and mechanical, with a bold, engineered attitude that reads as sci-fi signage or arcade-era tech. The slit counters and sculpted cuts add a slightly aggressive, armored feel, while the rounded corners keep it from becoming purely brutalist.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a distinctive internal cut system, turning counters into stylized slits to create a unified, futuristic texture. Its proportions and simplified interiors prioritize a strong silhouette and brandable letterforms over conventional legibility.
The alphabet shows a consistent system of internal slashes and segmented bowls, which becomes especially prominent in B, E, S, and numerals like 2, 3, 5, 8, and 9. Lowercase forms maintain the same motif, producing a distinctive texture in text settings where apertures align into repeating horizontal bands. Because many counters are minimized, small sizes and dense paragraphs may lose differentiation between similar shapes.
