A stylized sans with expanded proportions and extreme contrast between thick, flattened horizontals and razor-thin verticals and joins. Bowls and rounds are built from smooth, geometric curves that often meet the stems with sharp, tapered connections, creating a blade-like rhythm. The uppercase leans toward wide, architectural forms (notably in O/C/G and E/F/T), while the lowercase keeps a tall x-height and open counters, with single-storey a and g rendered as horizontal, lens-shaped loops. Numerals echo the same logic, alternating substantial horizontal bands with delicate hairline structure, producing a distinctly graphic texture in text.
Best suited to display applications where its high-contrast striping can be appreciated: headlines, brand marks, editorial titling, posters, and packaging. It can work well in short UI or tech-style labels when set large, but its delicate connections and pronounced horizontal emphasis favor larger sizes and generous tracking.
The overall tone is futuristic and refined, with a fashion/tech sensibility that feels sleek, controlled, and intentionally unconventional. Its sharp tapers and banded horizontals give it a display-forward personality that reads as modern, experimental, and slightly sci‑fi.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through an ultra-contrasted, horizontally banded construction, prioritizing visual impact and a distinctive voice over neutrality. It aims to deliver a contemporary, engineered look that stands out in branding and titling contexts.
Spacing and stroke logic create strong horizontal emphasis, so words form a striped, rhythmic line on the baseline and x-height. Some joins are intentionally minimal and needle-thin, which heightens the airy feel and makes the design read more like a constructed system than a neutral text face.
