This typeface is built from clean, geometric letterforms with sharply defined curves and a consistent system of horizontal cutouts that slice through many bowls and counters. Strokes alternate between heavy, blocky masses and hairline-like joins, producing a dramatic black–white rhythm and a distinctly modular construction. The terminals are crisp and unadorned, spacing reads tight in display settings, and the overall silhouette favors rounded forms (C, O, G, e) paired with angular diagonals (K, N, V, W) for a structured but lively texture.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, poster titles, branding marks, and packaging where the internal cutouts can read as a deliberate stylistic feature. It can also work for large-scale editorial display and cultural/event graphics, but will be less comfortable for long-form reading at small sizes.
The repeated internal breaks create a bold, engineered tone that feels modernist and design-forward. It evokes a retro-futurist, Art Deco–adjacent sensibility—confident, graphic, and slightly theatrical—more about visual presence than neutrality.
The design intent appears to be a high-impact display sans that uses systematic horizontal cutouts and extreme stroke modulation to create a distinctive, recognizable voice. It prioritizes graphic rhythm and silhouette over conventional text clarity, aiming for immediate visual identity in branding and headline contexts.
The sliced horizontals act like a built-in stencil/cutout motif, giving text a banded, kinetic look that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. In paragraph-like samples the distinctive internal gaps dominate the texture, making the face most convincing when it can function as a visual element rather than pure text.
