A monolinear geometric sans with rounded bowls and frequent vertical cut-ins that create slit-like apertures and partially open counters. Curves are smooth and circular, while terminals tend to be clean and blunt, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. Several letters and numerals feature distinctive breaks through the interior (notably in O/Q, some lowercase, and figures), giving the set a modular, constructed feel while maintaining clear baseline alignment and straightforward proportions.
Best suited for display applications where its cutout counters can be appreciated—headlines, brand marks, packaging, event graphics, and tech-oriented collateral. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation elements when set with sufficient size and spacing, but is most effective when used as an attention-getting accent rather than long-form reading.
The repeated cutout motif and circular geometry give the font a contemporary, tech-forward tone that feels slightly sci‑fi and editorial. It reads as purposeful and designed rather than neutral, with a graphic personality that stands out without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to modernize a geometric sans foundation with a distinctive, repeatable cutout system that adds identity and a futuristic edge. The goal seems to be a recognizable signature that remains broadly legible while signaling a constructed, digital-friendly aesthetic.
The cut-in details act like a consistent signature across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, adding texture in larger sizes. In running text the motif can create additional visual noise, so spacing and size will influence perceived clarity, especially in dense paragraphs.
