A geometric, modular sans with heavy rectangular stems and abrupt, carved counters that read like horizontal and oval cutouts. Many letters combine solid blocks with hairline vertical rules that extend beyond the x-height, creating a sharp, engineered rhythm and frequent baseline/ascender punctuations. Curves appear as crisp, lens-shaped apertures inside otherwise squared forms, producing a strong black–white pattern and a distinctly constructed silhouette across both caps and lowercase.
Best suited for large-scale headlines, posters, title treatments, and identity work where its graphic cutout structure can be appreciated. It can also work for music/event collateral and techno-themed packaging, but is less appropriate for long-form text due to its intentionally disruptive internal detailing.
The overall tone feels futuristic and machine-made, with an art-deco-meets-sci-fi sensibility driven by hard edges, tight spacing, and deliberate interruptions. The thin vertical spikes and slit-like counters add tension and motion, giving the face an edgy, experimental voice suited to stylized display settings.
The font appears designed to explore extreme positive/negative interplay within a sans skeleton, using modular blocks and slit counters to create a distinctive, signature texture. Its construction suggests an intent to deliver a strong, contemporary display voice with a system-like consistency across the set.
The design relies on internal cutouts and discontinuities more than traditional bowls and joins, so word shapes become pattern-forward and highly graphic. Numerals and punctuation follow the same cut-and-slot logic, keeping the texture consistent; at small sizes the hairline rules and narrow openings may visually compete with the heavier blocks.
