A geometric sans with broad proportions and softened corners, combining flat terminals with smooth, rounded joins. Many letters feature distinctive horizontal cut-ins or inset counters that create a segmented, almost stencil-like effect (notably in B, O, e, g, 8, and 9). Curves are clean and controlled, while straights stay sturdy and square, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. The overall silhouette is heavy and stable, with tight interior spaces and a consistent, modular construction across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display applications where its internal cut-ins remain clearly visible: headlines, logos, sports or tech branding, packaging, titles, and UI/wayfinding accents. It can work for short blocks of text at larger sizes, but the compact counters and segmented forms are most effective when given room to breathe.
The design reads as modern and machine-made, with a sleek, sci‑fi sensibility and a sporty, performance-oriented punch. Its segmented bowls and streamlined shapes suggest digital interfaces, industrial labeling, and contemporary product aesthetics rather than editorial warmth.
The likely intention is to deliver a contemporary, high-impact sans with a proprietary, recognizable texture—using consistent internal notches and rounded geometry to create a futuristic, engineered voice that stands apart in branding and titling.
The font’s signature detail is the repeated internal “slot” motif—horizontal apertures that interrupt bowls and counters—giving text a distinctive texture at display sizes. Round forms (O, Q, 0) appear squarish-rounded and highly controlled, and several diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel sharp and dynamic, reinforcing a fast, technical tone.
