A geometric, monoline sans with round, open forms and a clean, even rhythm. Many capitals and several lowercase letters incorporate distinctive internal cut-ins and ribbon-like strokes that cross or interrupt bowls and counters, creating a consistent “incised” motif (notably in C, G, O, Q, S and their lowercase counterparts). Strokes stay smooth and largely uniform, with circular/elliptical construction and gently tapered terminals in a few places, plus occasional asymmetrical details that add character. Figures follow the same rounded logic, with simple, readable silhouettes and minimal contrast.
Best suited to branding, headlines, posters, and packaging where the distinctive counter-slice motif can read as intentional personality. It can work for short to medium text in marketing or editorial pull quotes, but the stylized interiors will draw attention and may feel busy in dense, long-form reading.
The overall tone feels contemporary and experimental: clean enough to read, but marked by a playful, sci‑fi inflection from the internal slashes and sculpted counters. It projects a sense of designed eccentricity—friendly and modern rather than retro or formal.
The design appears aimed at delivering a clean geometric sans foundation while adding a recognizable signature through carved counters and intersecting internal strokes. The intent is likely to offer a modern, tech-leaning display voice that remains legible but clearly differentiated from neutral grotesks.
The signature internal incisions are prominent at text sizes and can become the main visual feature in longer passages, especially in words with many round letters. Straight-sided letters (like E, F, H, N) remain comparatively plain, which increases the contrast between geometric structure and the decorative counter details.
