A heavy, rounded sans with a distinctly sculpted, stencil-like construction. Many glyphs feature horizontal interior cutouts or notches that read as an inline break, creating strong light–dark patterning across words. Bowls are broad and rounded, terminals tend to be blunt or softly squared, and several letters introduce thin, hairline stems or connectors that heighten the sense of contrast. The lowercase is compact with a tall x-height and simplified forms, while numerals and capitals keep a wide, display-oriented stance with tightly controlled counters and consistent horizontal rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where the internal cutouts can read clearly—posters, album/film titles, sports or esports branding, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for UI accents or section headers when used at larger sizes with ample contrast and spacing.
The repeated horizontal cuts and rounded geometry give the face a retro-futurist, tech-forward voice with a playful edge. It feels engineered and graphic—more like a logo system or sci-fi interface than a neutral text tool—while the soft corners keep it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, high-impact display sans that merges rounded geometry with engineered, segmented detailing. The horizontal cut motif functions as a unifying signature, helping create a memorable word-image for contemporary, tech-leaning identities.
Spacing appears designed for display impact: the inline breaks create strong stripes that can visually link across adjacent letters, especially in all caps. Some characters rely on very thin strokes for differentiation, which adds character but can reduce clarity at small sizes or in low-resolution settings.
