A very light, monoline display face built from broken strokes and carefully spaced cut-ins that create a hollow, segmented look. Forms are predominantly geometric with rounded bowls and long straight terminals, while many joins are intentionally interrupted, producing small gaps that read like inline cutouts. Curves stay smooth and controlled, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) are sharp and clean, giving the overall rhythm a crisp, engineered feel. The digit set follows the same logic, with open, partially drawn shapes that emphasize outline over fill.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, posters, titling, brand marks, and tech-forward packaging where the segmented hollow construction can be appreciated. It can work for short UI labels or section headers at generous sizes, but continuous-reading body text may feel too delicate due to the frequent breaks and minimal stroke mass.
The tone is modern and technical, evoking digital interfaces, sci‑fi titling, and precision instrumentation. Its lightness and deliberate fragmentation create an airy, sleek impression that feels contemporary and slightly futuristic rather than decorative or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a lightweight, futuristic display aesthetic by combining monoline geometry with controlled voids and segmented construction, creating a sense of precision and dimensional nuance while keeping the overall texture open and minimal.
The cutout structure introduces a subtle shadow-like depth when set in text, as the separated segments imply an offset/echo without adding weight. Because many strokes are discontinuous, legibility is strongest at larger sizes where the gaps read as intentional detailing rather than missing parts.
