This typeface presents a sharply contrasted, display-oriented sans with smooth curves and abrupt, blade-like terminals. Many strokes show deliberate cut-ins and narrow vertical slits, creating a subtly stencil-like, notched construction—most evident in round forms and at joins. The geometry leans circular in O/C/G while diagonals are crisp and taut; counters are generally compact, and the overall rhythm is tight and high-impact. Lowercase includes single-storey shapes (notably a and g) with sturdy stems, short-to-moderate ascenders, and a consistent, engineered feel across the set.
Best suited to large sizes where the notches and high contrast can be appreciated—headlines, cover lines, logotypes, and bold brand systems. It can also work for short pull quotes and packaging copy where a strong, stylized voice is desired, but its sharp construction favors display typography over extended small-size reading.
The tone is commanding and graphic, with a fashion/editorial sharpness that reads as contemporary and slightly futuristic. The intentional interruptions in the strokes add a sense of precision and tension, giving the face a distinctive, designed-for-display personality rather than a neutral voice.
The design appears intended to modernize a clean sans skeleton with dramatic contrast and engineered cutaways, producing a distinctive signature for attention-grabbing typography. The consistent use of notches and slits suggests a focus on visual identity and reproducible, graphic impact across letters and figures.
Round letters often feature a centered vertical interruption, and several glyphs use flat or clipped terminals that amplify the constructed look. Numerals follow the same motif, maintaining strong presence and consistent contrast in text settings.
