A monolinear sans with a distinctly segmented construction: many curves and joins are intentionally interrupted, creating small gaps that read like stencil cuts or modular stroke breaks. Proportions lean geometric, with rounded bowls and fairly straight-sided forms, while terminals are clean and unflared. Several capitals show simplified, schematic shapes (notably the angular diagonals in V/W/X and the open, broken curves in C/G/S), and the lowercase maintains a tidy, upright rhythm with open counters and slightly mechanical joins. Figures are similarly constructed, with clear, airy forms and occasional cut points that echo the letter shapes.
Best suited to display settings where its segmented details can be appreciated—brand marks, titles, editorial heads, packaging, and posters. It can work for short UI labels or signage-style phrases when a clean sans is desired but with a more distinctive, technical texture than a conventional neo-grotesque.
The overall tone feels modern and engineered, with a controlled, experimental edge. The deliberate breaks introduce a subtle “coded” or instrument-panel character, balancing clarity with a distinctive, design-forward quirk.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through a modular, interrupted stroke system, creating recognizability and graphic texture without adding serif ornament. The consistent cut points suggest a deliberate strategy to make familiar shapes feel contemporary and slightly experimental.
The repeated interruption motif is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving the typeface a cohesive identity. At text sizes the gaps become part of the texture, adding sparkle and separation, while larger sizes emphasize the modular, almost stencil-like drawing.
