A delicate monoline sans with geometric construction and conspicuous open joins that break bowls and rounds into separated segments. Curves are treated as near-circular arcs with small gaps at the top or sides, giving letters like C, G, O, Q, and e a cut-apart, faceted feel despite the fine continuous stroke. Proportions are clean and modern with generous interior space, a straightforward, low-contrast stroke, and mostly flat, crisp terminals; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) read sharp and orderly. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g), a simple straight-stemmed l, and a compact, uncluttered rhythm that stays consistent across text.
Best suited to logotypes, headlines, and brand systems where a refined geometric voice and distinctive round-letter detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for UI labels, short captions, and tech-forward editorial display settings, especially with a bit of extra spacing to let the open joins and counters read cleanly.
The overall tone is minimalist and high-end, with a slightly sci‑fi or tech-leaning personality created by the intentional interruptions in rounded forms. It feels calm and precise, emphasizing clarity and negative space rather than warmth or expressiveness.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic geometric sans by introducing systematic breaks in curved strokes, creating a signature look without adding ornament. The emphasis is on precision, lightness, and a consistent motif that carries from capitals through lowercase and numerals.
The recurring “cut” motif is strongest in round letters and numerals, producing a distinctive sparkle at display sizes while remaining restrained. Numerals echo the same segmented circular geometry (notably 0, 6, 8, 9), supporting a cohesive typographic system for branding and interface labeling.
