A heavy, monoline sans with broad proportions and a crisp, engineered construction. Many curves are drawn as near-circular bowls with clean terminals, while several letters introduce cut-ins and notches that create a subtle stencil-like rhythm (notably in forms such as a, e, s, and numerals). Corners tend to be sharp on diagonals (V, W, X, Y), contrasted by rounded internal counters and smooth arcs (O, C, G). The lowercase uses single-storey a and g, a compact, squared-shoulder m/n, and a hooked j, keeping a consistent stroke weight and a deliberate, modular feel.
Best suited to logos, wordmarks, packaging, posters, and bold UI/display settings where the notched geometry can read as intentional texture. It performs particularly well in short headlines and titling, where its wide stance and distinctive internal cuts can carry a strong identity without relying on ornament.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, mixing geometric clarity with small interruptions that add character. Those strategic cuts and flattened joins give it a slightly tech-forward, display-oriented voice—playful enough for branding, but structured enough to feel purposeful rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to modernize a geometric sans foundation with a signature system of cut-ins and simplified joins, creating a recognizable silhouette across the alphabet and numerals. The goal seems to be a clean, contemporary display sans that remains friendly while adding enough quirks to feel branded and ownable.
Distinctive details include the stylized A with an internal mark, a Q with a short diagonal tail, and numerals that echo the same cut-in logic (especially the 3 and 9). The generous stroke weight and open, rounded bowls help maintain legibility at headline sizes, while the notch motifs become a defining texture in longer lines.
