A monoline, geometric sans with rounded bowls and crisp, angular joins, punctuated by deliberate cut-ins and small inline strokes that sit inside counters or along stems. Many glyphs feature distinctive notches, slashes, or looped interior marks (notably in C, G, O/0, Q, and several lowercase letters), creating a patterned rhythm across the set. Proportions stay generally clean and modern, but the internal detailing and occasional asymmetries give the alphabet an intentionally irregular, experimental texture. Numerals follow the same vocabulary, with the 0 adopting a slashed/marked interior and other figures keeping open, airy forms.
Best suited to display use such as posters, headlines, logo wordmarks, and branding where its internal cut-ins and quirky detailing can be appreciated. It can work well for music/event graphics, playful tech concepts, and packaging that benefits from a distinctive, patterned letter texture. For extended reading or small UI text, the decorative interior strokes may reduce clarity.
The overall tone feels playful and slightly cryptic—like a clean techno face that has been “hacked” with decorative incisions and inner strokes. It reads as curious and offbeat, balancing tidy geometry with unexpected details that add a sense of motion and personality. The result is more expressive than neutral, with a lighthearted, puzzle-like character.
The design appears intended to take a straightforward geometric sans skeleton and transform it into a signature novelty voice through consistent interior incisions and inline marks. Rather than relying on extreme distortion, it builds character via repeated micro-details that make familiar shapes feel coded, crafted, and intentionally unconventional.
The interior marks can visually compete with letterforms at smaller sizes, especially where they sit in counters or along thin stems, so the design’s distinctive flavor is most evident when given room. In text settings the repeated cut-ins create a consistent motif, but they also increase visual noise compared with a conventional sans.
