A geometric sans with broad proportions and conspicuous internal cut-ins that read like horizontal inlines or stencil breaks across many glyphs. Bowls are generally round and open, while joins and terminals switch between crisp angles and softened curves, creating a hybrid of circular geometry and sharp, engineered detailing. Stroke contrast is visually emphasized by the recurring slit shapes and by selective thinning in diagonals and joins (notably in K, R, S, and the diagonals of V/W/X). Counters are clean and simple, and spacing feels airy, with capitals sitting solidly and lowercase maintaining a straightforward, modern skeleton.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where the inline breaks can read clearly: headlines, posters, product branding, logotypes, and packaging. It can also work for tech-themed UI titles or event graphics, while long body text may feel visually busy due to the repeated internal cut-ins.
The repeated “sliced” motif gives the face a distinctly futuristic, technical tone, like signage cut from metal or a sci‑fi interface. Its geometry and bold silhouettes feel confident and graphic, with a slightly retro space-age flavor rather than a neutral, everyday voice.
The design appears intended to blend clean geometric sans construction with a signature inline/stencil interruption, giving familiar letterforms a distinctive, engineered identity. The goal seems to be strong recognizability at display sizes while maintaining a coherent, systematic alphabet.
Several forms lean toward emblematic display construction: the rounded letters (O/Q/0/8/9) echo each other strongly, and the horizontal breaks create a consistent rhythm line across words. Diagonal-heavy letters (V, W, X, Y) appear more sharply drawn and add a dynamic, angular counterpoint to the otherwise circular system.
