A geometric, monoline display face built from partial strokes and deliberate gaps, producing a cutout, segmented construction across both uppercase and lowercase. Curves are drawn as open arcs and many joins are interrupted, while verticals and horizontals terminate in sharp, wedge-like ends. A consistent offset duplicate creates a subtle shadow/echo layer, giving the forms a sliced, dimensional look without adding much visual weight. Overall proportions read compact and controlled, with simple, modern skeletons that stay legible despite the frequent breaks.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact text where the cutout and shadow effect can be appreciated. It works well for posters, album or game titles, tech-forward branding, and event promotions, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The fragmented outlines and offset echo lend a futuristic, digital tone—more sci‑fi interface than traditional print. It feels experimental and kinetic, as if the letters are shifting or being scanned, which adds a stylish sense of motion and edge.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a clean geometric sans through subtraction and layering: carving strokes into segmented arcs and adding an offset echo to create depth and a synthetic, screen-like character. The goal is expressive display typography that signals technology, experimentation, and modernity while maintaining recognizable letterforms.
Because the glyphs rely on negative space and small separations, the design benefits from generous sizing and clean contrast; at smaller sizes the breaks and shadow layer can merge or lose clarity. The effect is most striking where the open curves and angled terminals create crisp, high-contrast silhouettes.
