A sharply slanted, high-contrast sans with a distinctive split-stroke construction: heavy curved bands are interrupted by thin, hairline diagonals that slice through counters and joins. Many glyphs alternate between bold, ribbon-like arcs and extremely fine connecting strokes, creating a striped, cutaway effect that reads as both geometric and kinetic. Forms are generally wide with open apertures, rounded bowls, and taut diagonals, while the thinnest strokes behave like drawn lines that sometimes extend past the main mass, emphasizing speed and direction.
This font is best suited to display settings where its split-stroke construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, title cards, and distinctive brand marks. It can also work in short UI or motion-graphic moments (labels, section headers) when used large enough to keep the hairline diagonals from visually breaking up.
The overall tone is futuristic and edgy, with a sci‑fi/tech sensibility driven by the razor-thin diagonals and the segmented, aerodynamic rhythm. It feels energetic and slightly aggressive, like motion graphics or industrial design sketch lines translated into type.
The design appears intended to merge a clean sans foundation with an experimental, sliced/segmented stroke logic, producing a sense of motion and engineered precision. Its emphasis on contrast and diagonal incision suggests a goal of strong visual signature over neutral text performance.
The visual system relies on consistent diagonal slicing across letters and numerals, which gives strong branding character but also creates pronounced texture at small sizes. Numerals and round letters (0, 3, 6, 8, 9, O) showcase the banded contrast most clearly, producing a bold, graphic cadence in headlines.
