A very light, display-oriented sans with segmented strokes and frequent cut-outs that leave deliberate gaps in bowls and stems. Many glyphs combine smooth, near-circular curves with sharp, wedge-like terminals and small diagonal slashes that read as notches or slices through the letterforms. The construction feels modular and slightly deconstructed, with portions of strokes offset or interrupted to create a layered, shadow-like dimensionality without adding overall weight. Spacing appears open and airy, and the thin strokes and internal breaks emphasize outline rhythm over solid mass.
Well suited for headlines, poster typography, logos/wordmarks, and short titles where its cutout construction and shadowed accents can be appreciated. It also fits tech, gaming, and sci‑fi themed branding, as well as album or event artwork that benefits from a sharp, experimental texture.
The overall tone is futuristic and slightly abrasive, evoking digital distortion, sci-fi interfaces, and experimental editorial styling. The sliced details and offset accents add tension and motion, giving text a restless, high-tech attitude rather than a traditional, neutral voice.
The letterforms appear designed to reinterpret a clean geometric sans through subtraction and offset accents, producing a hollowed, dimensional look while staying extremely light. The goal seems to be maximum visual identity and a distinctive texture in display settings, using consistent slice motifs to unify the alphabet.
Because the design relies on hairline strokes and small gaps, it reads best at larger sizes where the cut-ins and offsets remain clear. In longer lines, the distinctive interruptions create a strong texture that can dominate the page, making it better suited to statements than body copy.
