A geometric sans with extended proportions and a heavy, even presence, built from broad curves and flat terminals. Many glyphs feature distinctive horizontal cut-ins or counters that read like bands passing through the letterforms, creating a consistent “sliced” motif across rounds and bowls. Curves are generous and near-circular, while joins and diagonals are simplified, giving a clean, engineered silhouette. Spacing and rhythm feel display-oriented, with compact internal counters and strong, poster-like color on the page.
Best suited to headlines, short promotional copy, and identity work where the distinctive sliced shapes can carry the design. It can work well for packaging, event graphics, and sports or tech branding that benefits from a dynamic, engineered look. For longer reading, the strong internal cut-ins may become visually dominant, making it more effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is modern and synthetic, evoking industrial labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, and performance branding. The repeated banded cutouts add a sense of speed and motion while keeping the voice controlled and deliberate. It feels bold in attitude and designed to be noticed rather than to disappear into body text.
The design appears intended to merge a clean geometric sans base with a signature horizontal slicing detail that differentiates it immediately in display settings. Its extended width and strong silhouettes suggest a focus on impact, clarity at size, and a contemporary, tech-forward personality.
The banded counter treatment is especially prominent in rounded letters and numerals, producing a cohesive visual signature. Straight-sided forms and simplified diagonals reinforce a constructed, modular feel, while the rounded geometry prevents the style from becoming overly harsh.
