A geometric sans with dramatic contrast between thin hairline strokes and rounded, heavy bowls. Many forms are constructed from near-circular counters paired with straight stems, creating a modular, cut-and-assembled look. Crossbars and joins often resolve into extremely thin connectors, while terminals stay clean and unbracketed; several letters use horizontal “slices” through rounded shapes that emphasize the contrast. Proportions are generally compact with a steady cap height and a moderate x-height, and the overall rhythm alternates between dense black curves and airy hairlines for a crisp, graphic texture.
Best suited to display settings where its high-contrast hairlines and bold curves can be appreciated—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and editorial titling. It can also work for short UI labels or feature callouts when set large enough to preserve the fine connectors.
The font feels contemporary and experimental, mixing sleek precision with a slightly playful, sci‑fi sensibility. Its strong light/dark patterning reads as editorial and design-forward, with an intentional sense of constructed geometry rather than neutral utility.
The design appears aimed at creating a distinctive contrasted sans that feels geometric and forward-looking, using circular bowls and hairline joins to produce a memorable, graphic voice for modern visual identities.
Round letters like O/C/G and numerals like 0/8/9 lean heavily on bold circular strokes with thin internal bridges, which can create striking silhouettes at larger sizes but introduce delicate details at small sizes. The diagonal-heavy capitals (K, V, W, X, Y) reinforce a sharp, engineered tone, while the single-story lowercase a and the looped g keep the texture friendly and modern.
