A geometric sans with pronounced contrast created by alternating heavy strokes and hairline connectors. Many characters feature horizontal cut-ins or banded counters, producing a segmented, stencil-like rhythm across rounds (C, O, Q, e) and bowls (B, D, P, b, d, g). Verticals can become extremely thin in places, while terminals and main stems remain solid, giving the design a crisp, engineered feel. Proportions are fairly straightforward and upright, with wide circular forms, clean joins, and a mix of straight and softly rounded geometry that stays consistent from capitals through figures.
Best suited to headlines and short-form settings where its segmented counters and hairline contrasts can be appreciated—such as posters, branding marks, packaging titles, album art, or tech-oriented editorial features. It can work for brief display text and pull quotes, while extended reading will benefit from larger sizes due to the fine internal strokes and distinctive cut-ins.
The overall tone reads contemporary and experimental—part sci‑fi display, part graphic logo font. Its sliced shapes and high-contrast detailing feel energetic and a bit mischievous, giving familiar letterforms an industrial, synthesized personality that stands out quickly.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a clean geometric sans through deliberate stroke breaks and extreme contrast, creating a signature texture without resorting to serifs or decorative scripts. The repeated banding suggests a focus on strong recognizability and a graphic, system-like identity for contemporary display use.
The distinctive horizontal "belt" motif repeats throughout the set and becomes a key identifying feature at text sizes. In longer lines, the hairline elements and cut-ins create a strong texture and may call for generous sizing and spacing to keep the segmented details clear. Numerals follow the same banded logic, with especially graphic 0, 8, and 9.
