A high-contrast geometric sans with a distinctive split-stroke construction: many curves are rendered as thick outer arcs interrupted by thin, hairline connectors, creating a ribbon-like, partially stencil impression. Counters are broad and clean, with rounded bowls in letters like O, C, G, and e, while verticals often reduce to near-hairline stems (notably in i, l, h, m, n). Terminals tend to be blunt and horizontally sheared, and several glyphs show deliberate breaks or offset joins that emphasize a modular, engineered rhythm. Proportions are generally compact with a steady x-height, but character widths vary noticeably between wide round forms and narrow, stem-driven letters, producing an animated texture in text.
Best suited for display settings where its high contrast and split-stroke details can be appreciated: magazine and lookbook headlines, fashion/beauty branding, tech-forward campaigns, posters, and distinctive logotypes. It can also work for short UI or packaging callouts when set large enough to preserve the hairline structure.
The overall tone is modern and stylized, combining luxury-editorial polish with a sci‑fi, constructed feel. The dramatic thick–thin interplay reads as experimental and design-forward rather than neutral, giving words a crisp, high-tech elegance with a hint of Art Deco-inspired sophistication.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a clean geometric sans through a constructed, near-stencil vocabulary—using strategic breaks and hairline bridges to create a signature silhouette. The aim is strong visual identity and contemporary sophistication, prioritizing memorable forms and rhythmic contrast in display typography.
In running text, the thin hairlines and intentional gaps become defining features, especially at smaller sizes where the contrast can appear delicate. Numerals follow the same split-stroke logic, and round digits (0, 8, 9) strongly echo the circular letterforms, reinforcing a cohesive, display-oriented system.
