A high-contrast sans with broad, rounded forms that are repeatedly interrupted by horizontal cut-ins, creating a segmented, almost stencil-like rhythm across counters and bowls. The thick strokes are smooth and geometric, while thin elements often taper into sharp, triangular points at joins and terminals, producing a precise, engineered feel. Curves are generous (notably in O/C/G and the lowercase rounds), and many letters show deliberate “waists” where the black mass narrows or is sliced, emphasizing contrast and motion. The overall texture reads bold in silhouette despite the lightness of many connecting strokes, with consistent, graphic cut patterns that unify caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for large-scale applications where its internal cuts and contrast can remain crisp: headlines, posters, identity marks, brand wordmarks, and striking packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or section titles in editorial layouts when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The segmented strokes and blade-like tapers give the typeface a futuristic, fashion-forward tone—sleek, slightly theatrical, and designed to catch light and attention. Its stylized interruptions evoke signage, sci‑fi interfaces, and art-directed display typography rather than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through systematic slicing and tapering, creating a signature visual motif that reads modern and premium while staying cleanly sans in structure. The emphasis is on distinctiveness and display impact, using repeated cut shapes to build a cohesive, recognizable texture across the character set.
In text, the recurring horizontal breaks create strong visual cadence and distinctive word shapes, but also introduce busy internal detail at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same cut-and-taper logic, with especially graphic forms in 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9; the 1 is sharply pointed and the 4 has a dramatic diagonal. The lowercase maintains a rounded, single-storey feel in a, e, and g, supporting a contemporary, geometric impression.
