A monolinear, geometric display face built from thin strokes with deliberate breaks and inline cut-ins that leave parts of the skeleton open. Curves are clean and near-circular, while corners tend to be squared off with short terminals, giving many forms a constructed, segmented feel. The alphabet shows consistent stroke treatment across rounds and straights, with counters often suggested rather than fully enclosed, and several glyphs using small notches or separated bars to define structure. Numerals follow the same system, keeping a light, airy presence and a crisp, drawn-with-instruments rhythm.
This font suits headlines, posters, title treatments, and logotypes where a lightweight, high-tech aesthetic is desired. It can also work for short UI or wayfinding accents when set large enough to preserve the delicate breaks and internal detailing.
The overall tone is cool and engineered, suggesting sci‑fi interfaces, contemporary tech branding, and architectural signage. Its openness and fine-line construction read as refined and experimental rather than friendly or traditional, with a subtle sense of motion created by the repeated cutouts and offset-like detailing.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through a hollowed, shadow-like line system: a minimal outer structure paired with internal cutouts and separated strokes that create depth and visual intrigue without adding weight. The aim is to deliver a crisp, futuristic display voice with a distinctive texture across both caps and lowercase.
Because the strokes are extremely thin and partially interrupted, legibility depends heavily on size and contrast; the design reads best when given ample space and clean backgrounds. The consistent internal cutlines create a cohesive texture in longer lines of text, but the distinctive segmentation keeps it firmly in display territory.
