A high-contrast sans with geometric construction and frequent horizontal cut-ins that create a stenciled, split-stroke effect through bowls and counters. Curves are largely circular, paired with extremely thin connecting strokes and hairline diagonals, producing sharp changes in weight at joins. Proportions lean tall with a large x-height and compact ascenders, while widths vary notably from narrow letters like I and t to broader round forms. Terminals alternate between crisp, flat cuts and rounded ball-like ends, and several characters feature distinctive internal bars or gaps that emphasize the font’s graphic rhythm.
This font suits headlines, wordmarks, and short display copy where its split-stroke motif and dramatic contrast can read clearly. It works well for branding, packaging, and posters that want a retro-futurist or art-deco-inflected voice, and it can add a distinctive signature to editorial titles or event graphics.
The overall tone feels futuristic and display-forward, mixing sleek geometry with quirky, engineered interruptions. The cut-through strokes and sudden contrast shifts add a playful, experimental edge reminiscent of retro-tech and art-deco signage, giving text a distinctive, attention-grabbing cadence.
The design appears intended as a statement display sans that breaks conventional stroke continuity to create a memorable visual system. By combining geometric bowls, ultra-thin connectors, and repeated horizontal interruptions, it aims to deliver a sleek, modern feel with a stylized, engineered personality.
Round letters (such as O, o, e) prominently showcase the signature midline slice, which becomes a recurring motif across the set and makes the type instantly recognizable. The design’s extreme contrast and delicate hairlines suggest it is best used where reproduction is controlled and sizes are not too small.
