A geometric sans with dramatic thick–thin modulation: broad, rounded bowls are interrupted by very thin hairline joins, producing a distinctly segmented rhythm. Many glyphs feature cut-in apertures and flat, squared terminals that read like deliberate notches rather than soft joins. Curves tend toward near-circular forms (notably in O/C/G and lowercase o/e), while vertical strokes can become extremely thin, creating a sharp contrast against heavy horizontal and curved masses. The overall construction is clean and upright, with a slightly modular feel driven by consistent cutouts and simplified diagonals.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact settings where its contrast and segmented construction can be appreciated. It works well for logos, brand marks, posters, packaging, and tech or entertainment-oriented identity systems that want a crisp, futuristic voice. For longer text, it will perform more comfortably at larger sizes and with ample whitespace.
The font projects a futuristic, tech-forward tone with a playful, engineered edge. Its high-contrast joins and intentional “breaks” give it a display-driven, graphic personality that feels modern, synthetic, and slightly experimental rather than neutral or text-oriented.
The design appears intended to merge geometric sans foundations with a strong display character through extreme contrast and engineered cut-ins. The consistent notches and hairline joins suggest a goal of creating a sleek, contemporary look that remains systematic and repeatable across letters and figures.
Distinctive features include a pronounced tail on Q, a simplified, linear treatment of several diagonals, and numerals that echo the same cut-and-contrast logic, resulting in strong silhouette recognition. At smaller sizes the hairline connections and notches are likely to become key defining details, so spacing and background contrast will strongly influence legibility.
