A sharply geometric sans with extreme thick–thin modulation expressed as bold, rounded bowls that are cut by hairline horizontal bands. Many letters combine near-monoline verticals with heavy curved forms, creating a distinctive split-stroke, almost stencil-like construction in counters and terminals. Curves are clean and circular, diagonals are straight and crisp, and joins tend to be abrupt rather than softened, giving the design a graphic, poster-ready rhythm. Spacing feels intentionally uneven across characters due to the alternating heavy bowls and fine stems, which adds a dynamic, variable visual texture in words and lines.
Best suited to display roles where its sliced geometry can read clearly—headlines, posters, event graphics, product packaging, and brand marks that want a futuristic or technical accent. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when set large enough to preserve the fine internal cutlines.
The overall tone is modern and synthetic, with a sci‑fi/tech flavor driven by the sliced forms and high-contrast geometry. It reads as confident and attention-grabbing, with a slightly playful edge from the round, “orbital” counters and the dramatic cutlines running through many glyphs.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a clean geometric sans through a bold thick–thin system and a recurring horizontal split, producing a distinctive, high-impact voice. The goal seems to be instant recognizability and a contemporary, technology-forward character rather than neutral, long-form readability.
The horizontal cutlines are a defining motif and remain consistent across both uppercase and lowercase, especially in rounded letters and numerals. Text samples show strong shape recognition at display sizes, while the hairline elements and internal bands become the main stylistic signal and may require generous sizing and contrast to stay clear.
