Author's note

Sharpedge, designed by Gijs van Roij, is a free geometric display sans with broad strokes and compact, strongly simplified lowercase forms. Clean horizontal cuts interrupt several of the rounded letters.

In digital graphics, the sturdy shapes and sliced details suit interface-themed posters, electronic music branding, and game menus with a cool technical edge. It also fits signage for technology events, where the repeated breaks can echo scan lines, segmented displays, industrial control panels, and the crisp geometry of machine-made graphics.
