A heavy, geometric sans with rounded bowls and a modular construction. Many strokes feature small, consistent notches and cut-ins at terminals and joins, producing a semi-stencil, ink-trap-like texture across the alphabet. Counters are generally open and circular, with simple, engineered curves and flat-sided verticals; diagonals are sturdy and blunt. The overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with distinctive detailing that remains fairly consistent from capitals to lowercase and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding, packaging, and logotypes where the notched construction can be appreciated. It works well for tech, gaming, music, and retro-inspired visual systems, and for short UI/label text when set large enough to keep the cut-ins clear.
The repeated notches give the face a constructed, slightly industrial feel that reads as retro-futurist and tech-adjacent. At the same time, the rounded forms and simplified geometry keep it friendly and playful rather than severe, making the font feel like a designed display voice rather than a neutral workhorse.
Likely designed to merge a clean geometric sans foundation with a distinctive notched/stencil detail, creating a memorable display face that feels engineered and contemporary while nodding to mid-century and sci-fi graphic traditions.
The stencil-like interruptions are prominent in key shapes (including bowls and cross-stroke areas), creating a recognizable signature at display sizes. The numerals follow the same geometric logic with rounded forms and the same cut-in motif, helping headings and short figures feel cohesive.
