A geometric display face built from bold, flat shapes paired with hairline strokes and open arcs. Many counters are collapsed into solid forms, while other letters are reduced to a minimal monoline skeleton, creating a pronounced black/white rhythm and uneven texture across words. Curves are mostly circular and teardrop-like, contrasted by sharp triangular wedges, notches, and angular joins. Proportions lean tall with generous vertical reach, and the overall construction feels modular, with repeated motifs (discs, triangles, and cut-in wedges) giving the set visual coherence despite the intentionally irregular letter-to-letter density.
Best suited to large sizes where the sharp cut-ins, collapsed counters, and hairline arcs can be appreciated: posters, headline typography, identity marks, event graphics, and packaging. It can also work for short, punchy text in editorial or digital art-direction where an eccentric, high-impact voice is desired.
The tone is playful and slightly surreal—more like a set of symbols or cut-paper shapes than conventional lettering. It reads as modern and experimental, with a techy, poster-graphics energy that prioritizes character and pattern over neutrality. The alternating solid and hairline forms add a kinetic, puzzle-like feel.
The design appears intended to explore a bold graphic contrast between solid silhouettes and minimal linework, turning familiar Latin forms into geometric icons. Its repeating circular and triangular motifs suggest a system-driven approach meant to produce striking word shapes and a distinctive, contemporary display personality.
Readability varies by letter because some glyphs become near-pictograms with reduced internal structure; this creates a strong display impact but can slow continuous reading at smaller sizes. The numerals follow the same mix of solid masses and sparse outlines, keeping the overall rhythm consistent in headings and short statements.
