Author's note

Half Cut by Arran Corbett is a free retro-futurist display font built from broad geometric strokes, sharp horizontal slices, and radically reduced letter shapes. Its rounded corners and open sections recall streamlined sci-fi signage.

It can turn a title card into part of an imagined control panel, a role suited to arcade games and electronic music events with a retro-tech theme. On album covers and merchandise, the cutaway forms can continue into borders, stripes, or interface-like panels, so the lettering becomes an active piece of the graphic artwork rather than a neutral caption.
