A geometric sans with extreme contrast created by bold, rounded main strokes paired with hairline connectors and spines. Many letters are built from hefty horizontal or curved bands that appear to “float,” linked by very thin verticals or diagonals, producing a sliced, almost stencil-like construction. Counters tend to be clean and circular, terminals are generally squared-off, and diagonals (as in K, V, W, X, Y) resolve into sharp, knife-like joins. Overall spacing and proportions feel expansive, with a crisp, engineered rhythm driven by alternating thick slabs and hairline structure.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and editorial titling where the high-contrast, banded construction can read as a deliberate graphic motif. It can also work well for packaging or event identities that benefit from a sleek, contemporary voice and strong word-shape texture.
The font conveys a sleek, futuristic tone with a strong graphic attitude. Its sliced construction and dramatic thick–thin interplay suggest technology, fashion-forward design, and modernist display typography, while subtle Art Deco echoes come through in the streamlined geometry and banded forms.
Likely designed as a statement display sans that reinterprets geometric forms through a cut-and-connector system, emphasizing contrast, rhythm, and negative space. The goal appears to be a distinctive, modern texture across words rather than neutral text performance.
Legibility is highly style-dependent: the repeated horizontal “cut” motif becomes a defining texture in words, and the thinnest strokes can visually recede at small sizes or on low-contrast reproduction. Numerals echo the same banded logic, giving figures a cohesive, poster-like presence.
