A heavy, high-contrast display sans with a geometric foundation and distinctive cut-in voids. Many round and bowl shapes are interrupted by triangular and curved “bites,” creating a stencil-like, carved look while keeping letterforms largely upright and stable. Straights are crisp and blunt-ended, curves are broad and clean, and the contrast between thick main strokes and razor-thin connecting strokes gives the design a sharp, engineered rhythm. Counters tend to be generous, and the overall spacing feels intentionally open for a bold headline presence.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, magazine/editorial titling, and brand marks where its cutout geometry can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes, packaging callouts, and event or nightlife graphics where a striking, high-contrast voice is desired.
The sliced counters and blade-thin joins give the font a dramatic, fashion-forward tone that reads as contemporary and slightly futuristic. It feels assertive and graphic, with a crafted, logo-ready personality that draws attention through unusual internal shapes rather than ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern display sans with a memorable, proprietary texture created by consistent internal slicing. By combining bold mass with fine connective strokes, it aims to feel both luxurious and technical, standing out in titles and identity work.
The most recognizable signature is the recurring internal notch/cutout motif across letters and figures, which creates strong patterning in text lines. At smaller sizes those fine hairlines may visually recede, while the cutouts remain the primary identifier, so the font is likely to read best when given room and scale.
