A geometric sans with dramatic thick–thin modulation, pairing heavy rounded bowls with hairline stems and connectors. Many letters rely on broad, flattened curves and horizontal banding that creates a distinctive “sliced” look in counters and bowls, while verticals can drop to near-monoline lines. Terminals are mostly clean and blunt, with occasional sharp diagonal cuts in forms like K, X, and Z. The overall construction feels modular and engineered, with simplified apertures and a steady, even baseline rhythm.
Best suited to display applications where its contrast and banded geometry can read clearly: headlines, brand marks, product identities, posters, and striking editorial titles. It can also work for UI or motion graphics in tech or sci‑fi contexts when used at generous sizes and with ample spacing.
The font projects a futuristic, tech-forward personality—cool, synthetic, and intentionally stylized. Its high-contrast striping and ultra-thin verticals evoke sci‑fi interfaces, electronic branding, and experimental editorial display typography rather than neutral text setting.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a clean sans structure through extreme contrast and horizontal segmentation, creating a signature look that feels engineered and modern. It prioritizes visual identity and impact over neutrality, using repeated structural motifs to keep the alphabet cohesive.
The design leans on strong horizontal emphasis: E/F/T and several numerals read as bold bands, and rounded letters like O/Q/0 show a pronounced inner “capsule” effect. Narrow hairlines in letters such as H, l, and parts of m/n create a striking shimmer at larger sizes and may become delicate at small sizes. The numerals are similarly stylized, with segmented forms and open, graphic counters that match the alphabet’s banded motif.
