A high-contrast sans with broad, rounded bowls paired against extremely thin verticals and razor-like diagonals. Many letters read as split forms, with horizontal strokes rendered as thick bands while connections and stems collapse to hairlines, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. Geometry leans circular and modular (notably in O, Q, 0, 8, 9), while diagonals in A, K, M, N, V, W, X, and Y are sharp and taut. Counters are generous and the overall spacing feels open, helping the bold bands stay legible despite the delicate joins.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, campaign typography, and branding where the high contrast and split-stroke construction can read clearly. It can be effective for logotypes and packaging in modern or futuristic contexts, and as an accent face paired with a calmer text sans for editorial layouts.
The font conveys a sleek, sci‑fi modernism with a fashion/editorial edge. Its alternating heavy bars and hairline structure creates a sense of precision and cool sophistication, reading simultaneously minimal and dramatic. The look feels designed for striking, attention-grabbing typography rather than neutral text setting.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through extreme contrast and a segmented stroke concept, prioritizing a memorable silhouette and modern styling. It aims to deliver a distinctive display voice that feels technical and refined while remaining rooted in clean, sans-serif construction.
Several glyphs emphasize a signature “cut” through the form—especially in rounded letters—creating a distinctive striped silhouette at display sizes. Hairline terminals and joins are a defining trait and will visually thin out quickly at small sizes or in low-resolution reproduction, while large sizes highlight the graphic contrast.
