A clean, geometric sans with noticeably sculpted joins and selective stroke contrast that creates a crisp, cut-paper rhythm. Bowls and counters are broadly rounded, while terminals often resolve into sharp, angled cuts, giving letters a distinctive chiseled finish. The overall spacing and proportions feel steady and upright, with a clear, contemporary structure; details like the angled terminals on S/s and the stylized joins in K/k and R introduce a lively, engineered texture. Figures are bold and simplified, with strong circular forms in 0/8/9 and angular, bracketless construction elsewhere.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and web editorial display, brand identities, and packaging where the carved terminals can register clearly. It also works for short blocks of text or UI callouts when a modern, characterful sans is desired, though its distinctive cut terminals will be most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is modern and graphic with a retro-futurist edge—confident, slightly quirky, and designed to stand out. Its sculpted terminals and contrasty cuts add personality without tipping into ornamental, making it feel both editorial and brand-forward.
Likely intended as a contemporary display sans that blends geometric construction with stylized, angled terminal cuts to create a signature silhouette. The design aims to deliver high visual distinction and a memorable texture while keeping letterforms broadly familiar and legible.
The design relies on consistent angled cut-ins and cut-offs across many glyphs, producing a cohesive “carved” motif that reads especially clearly at display sizes. Rounded forms (C/G/O and lowercase bowls) contrast with hard, triangular terminations, creating a dynamic texture in running text that is more expressive than a neutral grotesk.
