A geometric sans with crisp, engineered contours and dramatic internal cut-ins that create white “slices” across many bowls and counters. Round forms (O, C, G, 0) read as near-circular and horizontally emphasized, while vertical strokes in letters like h, n, p, and r become extremely thin, hairline-like spines against heavier terminals and bowls. Several glyphs show blade-like joins and pointed vertices (V, W, X, Y), giving the alphabet a faceted, constructed feel. Spacing and rhythm feel open and display-oriented, with distinctive, sometimes asymmetric silhouettes (notably in G, Q, R, and the numerals) that prioritize personality over neutrality.
Best suited to display use: logos, headlines, poster typography, packaging, and tech-forward brand systems where distinctive letterforms are an asset. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when set large enough for the internal cut-ins and hairline strokes to remain clear.
The overall tone is futuristic and synthetic, evoking sci‑fi interfaces, industrial design, and high-tech branding. Its high drama and cut-through detailing make it feel assertive and stylized, with an experimental edge that reads more “designed object” than conventional text face.
The design appears intended to fuse geometric sans foundations with a signature “machined” slicing effect, creating a bold, contemporary voice with strong visual texture. It favors striking silhouettes and rhythmic contrast to stand out in branding and headline contexts.
The repeated horizontal slicing motif is a defining signature and appears across both uppercase and lowercase, creating strong patterning in words. Hairline verticals can visually recede at smaller sizes, and the most idiosyncratic shapes (especially X/Y/W and some lowercase) will draw attention in setting.
