A monoline, geometric display face built from segmented strokes with deliberate cut-outs and small breaks that create a hollowed, stenciled rhythm. Many glyphs feature an offset secondary trace that reads like a light shadow or echo, adding depth while keeping the overall color airy. Curves are simplified into arcs with gaps, and straight strokes terminate in crisp, slightly angled ends, producing a mechanical, modular texture. In text, the repeated openings and offsets create a shimmering, perforated line that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Works best for short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, album/film graphics, and tech-forward branding where the hollow segmentation and offset echo can be appreciated. It can also suit labels, packaging callouts, or UI-style hero text when used at larger sizes with comfortable tracking.
The overall tone feels futuristic and engineered, with a digital, signal-like character that suggests interfaces, tech labeling, or sci‑fi worldbuilding. The cut-outs and offset echo introduce a subtle glitch/afterimage effect that feels kinetic and contemporary rather than classic or editorial.
The design appears intended to merge stencil-like cut construction with a lightweight shadow/echo to create depth without adding mass. Its modular segmentation and consistent breaks suggest a deliberate system built for modern, futuristic display typography.
Spacing appears intentionally generous to keep counters and cut segments from visually clogging, especially in longer lines. The shadow/echo detail is subtle enough to read at medium-to-large sizes, but the many breaks and fine joins suggest it is best treated as a display style rather than a text workhorse.
