A slanted, monoline sans with a distinctly segmented construction: many curves and diagonals are interrupted by small breaks that read like functional stencil bridges. Forms are built from clean arcs and straight strokes with rounded joins, creating a geometric rhythm while keeping the drawing airy and uncluttered. Several characters use open, near-circular bowls and partially cut counters, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) feel sharp and brisk. Spacing is fairly open, and the overall silhouette stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display roles where the segmented detailing can be appreciated: branding marks, posters, editorial headlines, tech-themed UI accents, packaging, and titles. It can work for short passages at larger sizes, but the intentional gaps and open counters are most effective when given enough scale and contrast.
The combination of italic energy and deliberate cut-ins gives the face a tech-forward, engineered feel. It reads modern and slightly experimental, with an edgy, constructed tone that suggests motion, instrumentation, and contemporary display styling rather than traditional text neutrality.
The design appears intended to merge a sleek italic sans structure with a purposeful stencil-like interruption system, creating a contemporary, fabricated aesthetic that remains legible while signaling technology and motion.
The broken strokes are not random; they appear consistently placed to preserve recognizability while emphasizing a modular, fabricated look. Numerals follow the same logic with clean curves and occasional interruptions, keeping a cohesive system across the set.
