A geometric, contrasted sans with broad proportions and a crisp, engineered construction. Many curves are flattened or sliced with straight segments, creating oval counters and distinctive horizontal apertures in letters like C, G, S, and e. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with sharp joins and clean, smooth curves; terminals are frequently cut on an angle or finished with short, straight endings that add a technical, machined feel. Lowercase forms are compact with single-storey a and g, and several glyphs feature deliberate cut-ins and notches that emphasize a modular, designed rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and brand-driven typography where its distinctive apertures and contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works well for posters, packaging, and technology or entertainment identities that want a sleek, forward-looking texture. For long-form body text, it will be more effective in short bursts or larger settings where the stylization doesn’t compete with readability.
The overall tone feels modern and high-concept, leaning toward sci‑fi and tech branding while still reading as polished and intentional. Its stylized apertures and sculpted curves give it a slightly experimental, display-forward personality rather than a purely neutral voice.
The font appears designed to reinterpret a geometric sans through contrasted strokes and repeated cut-in apertures, producing a recognizable, system-like motif. The intention seems to balance clean, modern construction with a distinctive display signature that gives brands and titles an immediate, futuristic character.
The design’s signature is the recurring horizontal “lens” or slit-like openings that repeat across multiple letters, creating strong texture in words. Numerals follow the same idea with rounded forms and cut-in detailing, helping headings and short lines look cohesive and distinctive.
