A contrasted sans with a distinctly geometric construction and frequent use of circular bowls and straight, planar cuts. Many glyphs show a split-tone feel where heavy fills meet very thin strokes, producing a crisp, poster-like rhythm. Curves are generally round and smooth, while corners and joins are often sharpened into wedges (notably in diagonals and the W/M/V family). Counters are open and clean, terminals tend to be flat or abruptly sheared, and the overall texture alternates between dense black shapes and hairline connectors, creating a lively, syncopated color on the line.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing settings where its alternating heavy fills and hairline strokes can read clearly: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and editorial display lines. It can also work for large-format wayfinding or signage when set with ample size and spacing to preserve the thin connectors and cut-ins.
The font reads as modern and graphic with a playful edge, mixing disciplined geometry with surprising cut-ins and dramatic light/heavy transitions. Its bicolor silhouette and sharp wedges give it a slightly retro display tone reminiscent of deco-leaning signage, while still feeling clean and contemporary.
The design appears intended to create maximum visual distinction with minimal ornament, using geometric primitives and dramatic internal contrast to form memorable lettershapes. It prioritizes a striking, graphic silhouette over neutral text uniformity, aiming for display impact and brandable character.
The strongest identity cue is the recurring "carved" or "incised" treatment: circular forms are frequently interrupted by a thin vertical or diagonal element, and several letters appear partially filled, emphasizing figure/ground contrast. Numerals echo the same idea with rounded forms and abrupt cuts, keeping the set visually cohesive.
