A monolinear sans with rounded terminals and continuous curves that are repeatedly interrupted by small, consistent cutouts. The forms feel constructed from smooth strokes that break into short segments, creating a hollowed/inline look and a subtle offset-shadow impression in many glyphs. Bowls and counters are open and airy, corners are softened, and the overall rhythm is light and spacious, with simplified geometric structures that remain legible despite the deliberate gaps.
Best suited for display sizes where the cutouts and shadow-like inline details can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logotypes, product/tech branding, and packaging. It can work for short UI labels or titling, but extended body text may feel busy due to the frequent interruptions in the strokes.
The segmented cutouts and shadowed inline effect give the face a futuristic, tech-oriented tone with a slightly retro digital flavor. It reads as sleek and engineered rather than expressive or calligraphic, suggesting interfaces, equipment labeling, and speculative science-fiction aesthetics.
The font appears designed to merge a clean geometric sans foundation with repeated internal cutouts and a shadowed inline effect, prioritizing a high-tech visual identity and distinctive texture while preserving recognizable letter skeletons.
Distinctive breaks appear at recurring stress points (tops, mid-strokes, and inner joins), producing a modular cadence across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The design favors smooth arcs and minimal modulation, while the intentional discontinuities create visual texture and prevent large solid areas of black.
