A streamlined geometric sans with generous width, rounded terminals, and a distinctly modular construction. Strokes alternate between thick horizontal bands and much thinner verticals and joins, creating a graphic, high-contrast rhythm. Counters are wide and often formed as capsule/oval shapes (notably in O, a, e, g, and numerals), while several characters use simplified, angular joins (V/W/M/N) with pointed vertices. Crossbars and internal apertures tend to sit as thin slices inside heavier outer strokes, giving many letters a banded, almost cut-out appearance.
Best suited for headlines, posters, titles, and branding where the banded contrast and wide proportions can read clearly. It can work well for tech products, esports/event graphics, album covers, and packaging that benefits from a futuristic, display-driven voice; for small text, the thin internal strokes and cut-in details may require careful sizing and spacing.
The overall tone is futuristic and engineered, with a display-first presence that feels tech-oriented and slightly retro-futurist. The contrast pattern and capsule counters add a sleek, synthetic flavor that reads as digital signage or sci-fi branding rather than neutral text typography.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a distinctive sci-fi/tech signature through capsule counters and a strong thick–thin horizontal/vertical contrast, prioritizing recognizability and style over conventional text neutrality. The consistent modular logic suggests an intention toward impactful display typography that holds up in short phrases and identity work.
The design relies on distinctive internal “stripe” details in several glyphs (e.g., e/a/g/6/8/9), which become a strong signature at larger sizes. Some forms are intentionally unconventional (such as the bowl-and-tail treatment of Q and the simplified, banded construction of S and Z), reinforcing a stylized, logo-like personality.
