A stylized geometric sans with rounded corners and smooth, monoline-like strokes that are frequently interrupted by small cutouts. Many glyphs show a consistent offset “slice” or notch through terminals and bowls, creating a crisp shadowed/segmented look without adding extra weight. Proportions are generally open and airy, with circular forms kept fairly geometric and verticals reading clean and straight; the set leans display-oriented due to the pervasive internal breaks and occasional asymmetrical detailing.
Best suited for headlines, short phrases, and identity work where the cutout-shadow detailing can read clearly. It also works well in posters, packaging, and tech or sci‑fi themed branding, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the internal breaks become a deliberate graphic feature.
The recurring cutaway shadows give the face a futuristic, tech-forward voice with a hint of retro signage. Its precise notches feel engineered and synthetic, while the rounded geometry keeps the tone approachable and slightly playful rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive shadowed cutout effect within a clean geometric skeleton, offering a display face that feels modern and constructed. The consistent notching across the character set suggests a focus on visual rhythm and recognizable texture over neutral text readability.
The shadow-like cuts are applied as a unifying motif across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing strong patterning at larger sizes. In running text, the interruptions create a lively texture and can reduce clarity at small sizes, especially where counters and joins are already tight.
