This typeface is a geometric sans with an emphatic horizontal/vertical construction and dramatic contrast between heavy strokes and hairline connectors. Many glyphs are built from broad, rounded bowls that are sliced by thin internal bars, giving counters a segmented, almost stencil-like feel. Curves tend toward near-circular forms (notably in C, O, e, and numerals), while joins and terminals often resolve into crisp, straight cuts. The lowercase shows simplified, modern structures (single-storey a and g), with tight apertures and compact detailing that reinforces a constructed, display-oriented rhythm.
Best suited for large-scale typography where the internal cut-ins and hairline links remain clear—such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and striking packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or editorial callouts when used at sufficient size and with generous spacing.
The overall tone reads contemporary and experimental, mixing retro-futurist geometry with a playful, optical twist. The alternating thick-and-thin language creates a kinetic, high-impact voice that feels tech-forward and graphic rather than neutral or text-centric.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, high-contrast sans voice that feels engineered and modern, using repeated internal bars and circular geometry to create memorable word shapes and strong visual identity.
The design’s signature is the recurring thin cross-stroke motif that appears across multiple letters and figures, producing strong horizontal banding in words. Wide bowls and short, sharp joins create striking silhouettes, while the thinnest strokes function as connective tissue that can become delicate at smaller sizes.
