A stylized sans with rounded, geometric bowls and a striking system of horizontal cut-ins that create banded counters across many letters and numerals. The design mixes heavy, near-circular forms with very thin connecting strokes and spines, producing a sharp thick–thin rhythm and an airy interior texture. Terminals are mostly clean and blunt, while joins stay crisp; several glyphs combine a bold upper/lower mass with a slender vertical or diagonal stem, giving the alphabet a distinctly constructed, modular feel. Spacing and widths vary noticeably by glyph, reinforcing a dynamic, display-oriented cadence in words and lines.
Best suited to large-size applications where the internal banding and thin strokes can be appreciated: logos, headlines, posters, and bold branding systems. It can also work for short UI labels or product names when set generously, but it is most effective as an expressive display face rather than for extended reading.
The banded apertures and high-contrast structure give the face a futuristic, techno-forward voice with a hint of retro sci-fi signage. Its alternating heavy solids and fine lines feel kinetic and slightly mischievous, making text look animated and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The font appears designed to deliver a distinctive, instantly recognizable texture by combining geometric, rounded silhouettes with deliberate horizontal cutouts and extreme thick–thin interplay. The goal seems to be strong visual branding—creating a futuristic, engineered look that stands apart from conventional sans typography.
The horizontal slicing motif is especially prominent in rounded letters and figures, creating a consistent visual signature that reads like a built-in inline/stripe effect. Diagonals and zig-zag forms (notably in W, X, and K) add angular energy against the otherwise circular geometry, while the tall, slender strokes in letters like l and i amplify the contrast and vertical rhythm.
