Author's note

Globatec 1 is a free geometric Arabic display font with tall, enclosed forms and a severe mechanical profile. Its strokes keep an even weight, and the narrow proportions produce a steady, fence-like sequence. The design is stark and repetitive.

As a rigid architectural title treatment, it suits technology posters, electronic music artwork, and exhibition graphics built around grids or industrial imagery. The rectangular openings can also become part of interface graphics or science-fiction game signage, linking those settings through a controlled machine-made vocabulary.
