A geometric sans built from bold, rounded bowls paired with hairline-like verticals and occasional cut-in joins. Many forms use horizontal counters as clean slits, giving a stencil-like, modular construction and a strong light–dark rhythm. Curves are smooth and near-circular, while terminals and interior corners often sharpen into pointed, wedge-like transitions. Proportions feel broadly modern with a slightly variable glyph width and a mix of wide round letters (C, O, Q) and narrow, linear ones (I, l, 1).
Best suited for display settings where its sculptural contrast and slit counters can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logotypes, and bold branding systems. It can also work for short UI or product labels when set large, but extended text is likely to feel visually busy due to the pronounced contrast and unconventional joins.
The overall tone is futuristic and designed-forward, evoking space-age signage and experimental editorial typography. Its high-contrast structure and carved counters create a sleek, graphic feel that reads as both technical and playful, with a distinct display personality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a clean geometric sans through a high-contrast, cut-out construction, prioritizing a striking silhouette and a memorable texture over neutrality. The consistent slit-counter motif and sharp internal transitions suggest a deliberate, system-driven approach aimed at contemporary, forward-looking visual identities.
Distinctive one-sided stems appear in several lowercase forms (notably b, d, p, q), creating a floating-bowl effect. The numerals echo the same slit-counter motif, with 0, 6, 8, and 9 reading as stacked or banded forms; 1 is a minimal stroke. At smaller sizes, the thin verticals and internal slits may dominate the texture, so careful sizing and spacing will help maintain clarity.
