A crisp, geometric display face built from simplified, mostly monolinear forms with frequent cut-outs and deliberate breaks through the strokes. Curves are clean and circular, while straights terminate in sharp, squared ends and occasional wedge-like tips. Many glyphs feature offset, duplicated fragments that read as a detached “shadow” or secondary layer, creating a sliced, dimensional look without adding weight. The rhythm is compact and consistent, with distinctive internal voids and segmented joins that keep counters open and shapes airy.
Best suited to short display settings such as headlines, poster typography, title cards, and logo/wordmark work where the cut-out shadow detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for tech-oriented branding, event graphics, and packaging accents, especially at larger sizes where the internal breaks remain clear.
The overall tone feels digital and experimental—like letterforms seen through a signal glitch or a modular stencil system. Its broken shadows add motion and a slightly mischievous edge, balancing a modern techno feel with playful irregularity.
The design appears intended to fuse a clean geometric skeleton with intentional interruptions and offset shadow fragments, producing a contemporary cutout effect that feels both engineered and visually disruptive. The goal reads as high-impact display typography with a distinctive, repeatable texture rather than neutral body text performance.
In text settings the repeated notches and separated shadow pieces become a strong texture, so spacing and line breaks matter more than in conventional sans styles. Numerals and uppercase have a bold graphic presence, while lowercase maintains the same segmented logic for a cohesive, system-like voice.
