A geometric sans with a strong, display-oriented build and conspicuous cut-ins that create banded counters and segmented strokes. Many round letters (O, C, G, e, o) show a horizontal break through the bowl, while several joins feature sharp triangular notches reminiscent of ink traps. Strokes alternate between heavy bowls and slimmer connecting stems, producing a graphic rhythm; terminals are mostly flat, with occasional tapered or scooped forms in V/W/Y and some diagonals. Overall spacing reads open and airy for a heavy design, with clear, simplified silhouettes and a slightly modular feel across the set.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where the banded counters and notched details can read clearly—headlines, titles, posters, and brand marks. It also works well for packaging, event graphics, and tech-leaning interfaces or signage where a distinctive, engineered tone is desirable.
The segmented bowls and notched joins give the font a sci‑fi, instrument-panel personality with a distinct retro-futurist edge. Its punchy black shapes and engineered cutouts feel energetic and a bit playful, suggesting motion, tech, and stylized signage rather than neutral text typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a recognizable, modernist display voice by combining geometric construction with deliberate internal breaks and sharp notches. These features prioritize visual identity and rhythm over unobtrusive readability, giving common letterforms a proprietary, system-like character.
Distinctive crossbar treatments appear throughout (notably in A, B, e, o, and numerals), creating a consistent “slit” motif that can become a strong branding signature. The numerals follow the same banded logic, with especially graphic forms for 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9, and a straightforward, blocky 1.
