A geometric sans with segmented, stencil-like construction and frequent internal cut-outs that break strokes into crisp modules. Curves are drawn as partial arcs with clean gaps, while straight strokes terminate in squared ends, producing a precise, engineered rhythm. Letterforms stay fairly open and airy, with thin strokes and consistent spacing; the overall effect reads as an outline/inline system rather than solid fills. The numerals and capitals share the same notched logic, keeping a cohesive, grid-friendly texture across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short statements where the segmented strokes read clearly and create a memorable texture. It works well for tech-oriented branding, gaming/stream overlays, event graphics, album art, and futuristic packaging or signage concepts, particularly when given generous size and contrast against the background.
The cut-and-slice detailing gives a digital, sci‑fi tone—suggesting circuitry, HUD graphics, or manufactured signage—while the playful discontinuities add a light “glitch” character. It feels contemporary and experimental without becoming chaotic, leaning more toward sleek tech branding than hand-drawn expressiveness.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a clean geometric sans through a system of intentional cut-outs and inline voids, creating a shadow-like dimensionality and a modular, machine-made feel. The consistent segmentation across letters and numbers suggests a focus on visual identity and pattern as much as pure readability.
In longer text, the repeated gaps create a distinctive patterning that becomes part of the voice, especially at larger sizes. At smaller sizes, the smallest breaks and counters may visually merge or thin out, so the design naturally favors display use where the segmentation can be appreciated.
