A geometric sans with rounded bowls and a distinctly engineered construction. Many glyphs feature horizontal cut-ins or “sliced” apertures that create stencil-like counters and strong banding across the letterforms. Vertical strokes are often reduced to thin stems while curves and terminals carry more weight, producing a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. The overall fit is generous and the shapes are largely circular and symmetrical, with occasional sharp joins and notch-like details that reinforce a constructed, modular feel.
Best suited to display settings where its sliced counters and geometric bowls can read clearly—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and tech or entertainment graphics. It can work for short UI labels or titling when set large, but the interior banding may feel busy in long passages.
The repeated horizontal slicing and sleek geometry give the typeface a futuristic, tech-forward voice with a playful edge. It evokes sci‑fi interfaces, synthesized signage, and modernist experimentation rather than traditional text typography.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a clean geometric sans through a constructed, cut-out motif, emphasizing a strong visual signature and a contemporary, futuristic texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
The distinctive internal cuts become a dominant motif in running text, creating strong horizontal striping and frequent closed or semi-closed counters. Some forms lean toward stylized, logo-like silhouettes, prioritizing character over conventional legibility at smaller sizes.
