A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and softened outer corners, built from large, continuous shapes interrupted by crisp internal cuts. Counters and terminals are frequently formed by horizontal and diagonal notches that create a stencil-like, segmented feel while keeping the overall silhouettes clean and bold. Curved letters (C, O, Q, S) emphasize wide oval bowls, and many glyphs show deliberate asymmetries and angled joins that add motion to the rhythm. Numerals echo the same language with blocky forms and inset cuts, producing a consistent, display-forward texture.
Best suited to large-scale applications where the interior cuts and wide curves have room to show: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and entertainment or game-related interfaces. It can also work for short subheads or callouts where a bold, styled sans is desired, but it is less ideal for extended small-size reading due to the busy interior segmentation.
The font projects a futuristic, arcade-like energy with a playful edge, mixing smooth, rounded mass with sharp, engineered incisions. Its distinctive cut-ins and wide stance give it a synthetic, sci‑fi flavor that reads as designed rather than neutral, making it feel assertive and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended as a highly recognizable display sans that blends rounded geometric forms with mechanical cutouts to create a futuristic, stylized voice. Its consistent notch motif across letters and figures suggests a focus on branding impact and thematic atmosphere rather than neutrality.
The most recognizable signature is the repeated use of internal “bite” shapes—small rectangular or slanted voids—used to define apertures, crossbar breaks, and bowls. In text, these cuts create a lively patterning that can become visually dense at smaller sizes, while at larger sizes they read as intentional styling details.
