A sharply contrasted sans with geometric construction and striking hairline breaks within otherwise heavy strokes. Many glyphs use a recurring motif of horizontal “cutouts” or apertures that slice through bowls and counters, creating a banded, stencil-like rhythm while keeping overall forms clean and upright. Curves are broadly circular (notably in O/C/G and numerals), terminals are mostly flat, and spacing feels open enough to showcase the internal gaps. The lowercase is compact and modern, with single-storey a and g, a clean, straight-sided n/m, and a slender, high-contrast t and f that read as linear accents against the heavier rounds.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short editorial lines where the internal cutouts can be appreciated at size. It can work well for fashion and lifestyle branding, event posters, product packaging, and striking web hero text; for long passages or small UI text, the distinctive stroke interruptions may reduce clarity.
The overall tone is high-fashion and display-forward, mixing modern minimalism with a slightly futuristic, engineered feel. The repeated cutout bands add drama and a sense of motion, giving the face a stylized, attention-grabbing personality without becoming ornamental or script-like.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, contemporary sans voice with a built-in graphic device: high contrast paired with consistent horizontal cutouts that create a recognizable texture. The aim seems to be strong brand recall and visual impact in display typography while maintaining a clean, geometric foundation.
The design’s signature cutout banding is most prominent in rounded letters and several numerals, which can become a defining graphic texture across a line of text. Diagonals (such as V/W/X/Y) read crisp and sharp, while the rounded characters provide the strongest visual identity through their interrupted strokes.
