A slanted, heavy display sans with squared, rounded-corner construction and a distinctly engineered feel. Strokes are monolinear with soft terminals and frequent cut-ins/ink-trap-like notches that create a segmented, “machined” rhythm. Counters tend toward rounded rectangles, and many joins are smoothed rather than sharply angular, giving the letters a compact, aerodynamic silhouette. The lowercase is simple and geometric with single-storey forms, and the numerals echo the same rounded-rect counter logic for a cohesive, modular texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where its engineered details can read clearly—headlines, posters, event graphics, team or esports-style branding, and technology-forward packaging. It can also work for UI titling in games or interfaces when used at generous sizes and spacing to preserve the interior cut-ins.
The overall tone reads fast, synthetic, and game-like—more cockpit display than editorial text. Its slant and streamlined corners suggest motion and speed, while the carved details add a playful, slightly eccentric personality that keeps it from feeling purely utilitarian.
This design appears intended to deliver a speed-and-technology impression through slanted geometry, rounded-rect counters, and deliberate interior notches that mimic machined parts. The goal seems to be a distinctive display face that feels modern and kinetic while remaining visually consistent across letters and figures.
The distinctive cut-out details are most noticeable in letters with horizontal strokes (such as E, F, S, and some numerals), producing strong internal patterning at display sizes. The uppercase and lowercase share a consistent construction, helping mixed-case settings maintain an even, branded voice.
