A geometric sans with extreme contrast created by alternating solid strokes and hairline connectors, producing a distinctive “cut-out” or split-stroke look. Many letters rely on broad, rounded bowls and flat crossbars that are interrupted by thin horizontal gaps, while verticals often reduce to slender lines in places, emphasizing a modular construction. Curves are smooth and near-circular in counters like O, Q, and 8, contrasted by crisp, straight-sided forms and pointed joins in letters such as A, V, W, and Y. Overall spacing feels open and the silhouettes read wide, with consistent use of razor-thin joins and breaks as a defining motif.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, titles, posters, and logo wordmarks where the high-contrast striping can be appreciated. It can also work well for fashion/editorial layouts, product packaging, and event branding when set at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The design projects a sleek, Deco-leaning modernism with a dramatic, fashion-forward tone. Its alternating thick-and-hairline structure feels engineered and cinematic, suggesting luxury, nightlife, and futuristic branding rather than everyday utilitarian text.
The font appears designed to deliver a distinctive, graphic voice by combining geometric sans proportions with deliberate interruptions and hairline bridges. The intention is likely to create a memorable, premium display aesthetic that stands out through rhythmical stroke breaks and bold circular forms.
Legibility depends on size and context: the signature horizontal cuts through bowls and the hairline stems give strong personality but can fragment word shapes at small sizes. Numerals and rounded letters carry the style especially clearly, with stacked bands and clean circular geometry reinforcing the display character.
