A geometric display face built from crisp, mostly monoline strokes with rounded bowls and clean, open curves. The construction mixes strict circular forms (notably in O/C/G) with sharp, simplified diagonals (V/W/X/Y) and occasional abrupt terminals, producing an intentionally irregular rhythm. Several letters show distinctive cut-ins and bridged joins that reduce or pinch counters, and the overall set reads as airy and spacious while still feeling compact inside some glyphs. Numerals follow the same logic, alternating between simple geometric skeletons and more customized details.
Best suited for headlines and short-form display settings where the character shapes can be appreciated—posters, brand marks, packaging titles, and tech-oriented editorial layouts. It can also work for punchy UI/label moments or motion graphics when used at sufficiently large sizes to preserve its interior details.
The tone is modern and slightly offbeat—part sci‑fi interface, part playful experimental branding. Its unusual joins and counter handling create a sense of engineered weirdness, making the texture feel more like a designed graphic system than a neutral text font.
The design appears intended to offer a recognizable, contemporary voice by combining geometric foundations with deliberately unconventional counter treatments and joins. It prioritizes a strong, distinctive word-shape over neutrality, aiming to feel both clean and experimental.
In the sample text, the face maintains a consistent vertical stance and strong silhouette contrast between round and angular characters, but the idiosyncratic forms draw attention to individual letters. The wide set and simplified apertures keep lines looking open at larger sizes, while the more collapsed interior spaces in select glyphs add a distinctive signature.
