A geometric, high-contrast sans with bold, rounded bowls paired against extremely thin hairlines and spidery verticals. Many letters use abrupt cut-ins and open notches where strokes meet, creating a crisp, engineered rhythm rather than smooth joins. Curves are built from near-circular arcs with generous counters, while straight-sided forms (like E, F, L, T) emphasize flat, squared terminals. Overall spacing reads even, but the letterforms themselves mix wide rounds with narrow, hairline-stem structures, giving the design a deliberately variable silhouette across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines and cut-in joins stay clear: brand marks, editorial headlines, posters, packaging, and tech/fashion identities. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when set large with ample tracking, but its contrast and delicate strokes make it less appropriate for dense body text.
The font conveys a sleek, sci‑fi modernism with strong Art Deco undertones—confident, polished, and slightly theatrical. Its extreme thick–thin contrast and sharp cut details feel technical and fashion-forward, suggesting a designed object rather than neutral signage.
The design appears intended to fuse geometric sans foundations with dramatic contrast and engineered join cuts, producing a distinctive, contemporary-deco voice. Its forms prioritize visual signature and rhythm over neutrality, aiming for memorable word-shapes in branding and titling contexts.
Distinctive hairline stems on several capitals and ascenders create a light, airy topography, while the heavy bowls anchor words with strong black shapes. The numerals and circular letters (O, Q, 0) lean into ring-like construction with dramatic contrast, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read crisp and angular, reinforcing the geometric theme.
