A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) masses and clean, upright stems. Counters and joins are frequently opened by narrow vertical or horizontal slits, giving many letters a segmented, almost stencil-like construction. Curves are broad and squared-off, terminals are blunt, and internal negative spaces are compact, producing dense silhouettes with strong figure/ground contrast. The lowercase shows a tall presence with simplified forms and prominent round dots on i/j, while the overall rhythm is driven by repeated notches and cut-ins that create a consistent modular texture across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where the segmented construction can be appreciated—posters, striking editorial titles, brand marks, packaging, and large-format signage. It can also work for logos or labels where a sturdy, technical tone is desired, with extra attention to spacing at smaller sizes.
The repeated splits and blocky superelliptical curves give the face an industrial, engineered attitude with a distinct retro-display flavor. It reads as confident and graphic, evoking signage, machinery labeling, and bold editorial titles rather than quiet text typography.
Likely intended as a distinctive display sans that blends superelliptical geometry with strategic cutouts to create a memorable, high-impact texture. The design appears focused on producing strong silhouettes and a modular, industrial voice while keeping forms simple and highly consistent across the set.
The narrow internal cuts introduce a characteristic sparkle at large sizes but can visually fill in or become ambiguous as sizes shrink, especially in tightly set words. Numerals and capitals maintain the same segmented logic, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like look across mixed settings.
