A geometric sans with heavy, rounded masses interrupted by consistent horizontal cutouts that read like stenciled counters running through many glyphs. Forms are built from simple circles, straight stems, and flat terminals, with frequent angular notches and triangular incisions at joins and diagonals. The contrast is expressed less as traditional stress and more as deliberate slicing: thick bowls and stems paired with razor-thin bridging strokes and occasional hairline verticals that create a segmented, constructed look. Spacing appears generous and the shapes feel engineered and modular, producing a strong, graphic rhythm in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to large-size applications where the internal cutouts and notches remain crisp: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and entertainment or music-oriented graphics. It can be effective for short UI labels or signage when set large, but the segmented counters suggest avoiding small text sizes where the interior breaks may close up.
The overall tone is futuristic and experimental, with a techno signage energy that also nods to retro display lettering. The repeated cutouts give a coded, synthetic feel—like data bands or masking tape—making the design feel assertive, stylized, and intentionally non-traditional.
The design appears intended as a display face that foregrounds a signature construction system—bold geometric shapes disrupted by consistent horizontal cut lines—to create instant recognizability. It prioritizes graphic impact and stylistic cohesion across the alphabet over conventional text neutrality, aiming for a distinctive, tech-forward voice.
Many round letters emphasize a central horizontal aperture, making the eye line a dominant motif across words. Some glyphs include extremely thin vertical elements that heighten the mechanical, assembled impression and add a sharp edge to otherwise soft, rounded geometry.
