This typeface is built from slender, high-contrast gestures that are repeatedly interrupted by intentional gaps, creating a cut-out, segmented skeleton. Curves are drawn as partial arcs and terminals often break into short horizontal or vertical bars, giving many glyphs an engineered, modular construction. The rhythm alternates between sharp diagonals and geometric curves, with frequent “missing” joins that read like stencil bridges or circuitry breaks. Overall spacing feels open and airy, and the forms maintain a consistent system of notches and offsets that keeps the texture cohesive across letters and numerals.
Best suited for short display settings where its segmented construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, titles, game/interface moments, and technology-leaning brand marks. It can also work for striking wordmarks or packaging accents, while longer passages will benefit from generous sizing and spacing to preserve clarity.
The broken strokes and sliced counters evoke a futuristic, tech-forward tone—part display sci‑fi, part industrial stencil. Its deliberate interruptions and offset accents lend a slightly glitchy, cybernetic feel that suggests motion, scanning, or shadowed layering rather than traditional pen or brush influence.
The design appears intended to translate familiar Latin shapes into a system of sliced, modular components, using negative space as an active design element. The goal seems to be a recognizable yet stylized alphabet that reads as futuristic and engineered, with consistent cut-outs that create a distinctive shadowed/offset impression across the set.
Several glyphs lean on asymmetric cuts and small detached segments, which increases character but can reduce immediate legibility at smaller sizes. The design’s signature is the repeated use of gaps as a structural motif, producing a distinctive pattern when set in lines of text.
