A geometric, monoline sans with generous width and open spacing, built from clean straight strokes and near-perfect circular bowls. Several letters feature collapsed counters rendered as solid circular fills, creating a two-tone rhythm within an otherwise thin outline structure. Curves are smooth and continuous, terminals are crisp and mostly unflared, and the overall construction feels modular—mixing airy outlines with bold, punctuating blobs in select glyphs. Numerals follow the same logic, with simple, rounded forms and occasional interior shapes reduced to minimal, graphic elements.
Best suited to display typography where its counter-collapsing fills can function as a recognizable signature—posters, editorial headlines, brand marks, packaging, and culture/tech themed graphics. It works especially well when paired with a neutral text face that won’t compete with its internal black accents.
The alternating outline-and-solid treatment gives the face a playful, futuristic tone that reads as techy and experimental rather than traditional. Those filled counters act like visual “beats,” making words feel lively and slightly unpredictable while still staying orderly and clean.
This font appears designed to reinterpret a clean geometric sans through selective counter reduction, using solid interior shapes as an expressive device. The goal seems to be a distinctive, modern word-image that stays orderly in construction while adding novelty through rhythmic, filled apertures.
The design relies on strong circle geometry (notably in O/Q and rounded lowercase) and a consistent thin stroke, so the black filled elements become the primary emphasis points. The result is highly distinctive in display sizes, where the counter-collapsing details remain intentional and legible as a stylistic motif.
