A stylized sans with geometric construction and deliberate stroke modulation that reads as high contrast in key joins and curves. Many forms combine rounded bowls with straight, planar cuts, producing a crisp, engineered silhouette. Terminals are often sharply finished or flattened, and several letters feature distinctive cut-ins and notches that create a segmented, display-like rhythm. Curves are smooth and near-circular in letters like O and C, while diagonals (V, W, X) are narrow and pointed, reinforcing a taut, angular tension.
Best suited for headlines, titles, posters, and brand marks where the cutaway details and contrast can be appreciated. It can work for short UI labels or packaging callouts when set with generous spacing, but the stylization is strongest in larger display settings.
The overall tone feels futuristic and technical, with a retro-modern flavor reminiscent of sci‑fi titling and streamlined industrial design. Its stylization adds personality and motion, giving text a “designed” presence rather than a neutral voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, engineered sans voice with distinctive carved details for memorability. It aims to balance geometric clarity with a signature high-contrast, segmented look that stands out in branding and titling.
Capitals are particularly distinctive, with several glyphs showing intentional breaks or interior cutaways that add visual sparkle at larger sizes. The numerals follow the same geometric logic, with rounded figures and sharp horizontal cuts that keep the set cohesive. Lowercase forms remain clean and readable but retain the same signature carving details, which can become more noticeable in dense text.
