A heavy, geometric sans with simplified, near-monoline construction and frequent triangular notches and cutaway wedges that read like a soft stencil or "glitch" carving. Counters are generally round and open, with circular forms in O/o and 8/9 punctuated by distinctive diagonal bites. Terminals tend to be flat and squared, while joins and diagonals (K, N, V, W, X) are sharpened by consistent angled cuts that create a rhythmic, segmented texture. Lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey approach (a, g) and sturdy verticals, producing a compact, poster-ready silhouette with strong dark/white patterning.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and event promotion where the cutout details can read clearly and contribute to the voice. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers in tech or entertainment contexts, provided sizes are generous enough to preserve the internal notches.
The overall tone feels playful and slightly futuristic, mixing friendly rounded bowls with intentional disruptions that suggest motion, tooling, or digital interference. The repeated cutout motif gives it a mischievous, crafted character—more expressive than neutral—while still staying within a clean sans framework.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary sans presence while differentiating itself through consistent wedge cutouts that act as a signature texture. This creates a balance between geometric simplicity and expressive disruption, aiming for memorability in high-impact settings.
The notches are applied as a unifying motif across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a distinctive identity even at a glance. In text settings the internal cuts add sparkle and texture, but they can also increase visual busyness at smaller sizes where the wedges may begin to compete with letterform clarity.
