A geometric sans display face built from heavy strokes and circular/rectilinear primitives, with frequent vertical breaklines that split bowls and counters into two halves. Many rounded letters (C, G, O, Q and their lowercase counterparts) use near-perfect circular forms interrupted by centered gaps, while straight-sided glyphs rely on blunt terminals and simplified joins. The overall construction feels modular and segmented, producing strong internal negative shapes and a rhythmic pattern of cuts across the alphabet and figures. Numerals follow the same system, with closed forms broken by consistent vertical interruptions and squared-off openings.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where the segmented shapes are part of the visual identity. It can also work for signage or wayfinding-inspired graphics when used at sufficiently large sizes to preserve clarity.
The segmented construction and bold, mechanical geometry give the font a technical, industrial tone with a slightly futuristic edge. Its repeated cutlines read like stencil bridges or engineered markings, conveying precision, utility, and impact rather than warmth or subtlety.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through a consistent system of vertical breaks, creating a stencil-like, engineered look that stands out in display use. The goal seems to be a strong, modern graphic voice with a distinctive internal rhythm rather than a neutral text palette.
In text, the recurring internal splits create a distinctive texture and can reduce immediate letter recognition at smaller sizes, especially where multiple characters share similar circular structures. The design’s strong black mass and simplified silhouettes make it most effective when the segmentation can be clearly resolved.
