Author's note

NEC by Julio Garay is a free geometric display font with a wide, low silhouette that makes the lettering read like compact industrial signage. The broad curves and squared cuts keep the design cohesive, while the shortened inner spaces give it a slightly engineered rhythm instead of a neutral sans-serif texture.

That shape gives short titles real authority on posters, tech branding, album covers, packaging, and interface headers. It also makes sense for logos and section markers where a compressed vertical footprint helps the text stay large and graphic without turning into a decorative novelty.
