A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and sharply cut internal apertures. Strokes are monolithic and broad, but broken by consistent horizontal slice-like cutouts that read as stencil bridges or extreme ink-trap notches, producing dramatic counters and a distinctive striped rhythm. Curves are superelliptical and flattened, corners are softly squared, and joins are crisp, giving letters a compact, industrial solidity. Spacing appears tight and the overall texture is dense, with numerals and lowercase sharing the same blunt, engineered geometry.
Best suited to large-scale display work such as headlines, posters, title cards, and bold identity marks where the stencil-like cutouts can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging and sports or event graphics that benefit from a compact, high-impact texture, while extended body copy is less ideal due to the strong internal banding.
The repeated cutouts give the face a bold, graphic attitude that feels retro-futurist and game-like, with a hint of sports branding and sci‑fi console typography. Its dense black mass and stylized counters make it feel confident and attention-seeking, leaning more toward display impact than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric rounded sans into a high-impact display style by introducing systematic horizontal cutaways that create a signature look and improve differentiation between similar shapes. The goal seems to be maximum visual punch and instant recognizability in branding and headline settings.
In text, the midline slice motif becomes a strong horizontal banding that can create visual vibration at smaller sizes or in long paragraphs. Short bursts, large set sizes, and generous tracking help the distinctive counters and bridges read clearly.
