A rounded, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, circular counters. Strokes are largely uniform in feel but show subtle shaping and modulation, with distinctive horizontal cut-ins that create slit-like apertures in letters such as C, G, S, and 8. Terminals are clean and mostly squared-off, while many bowls (O, Q, 0, 6, 9) lean toward near-perfect ovals. The lowercase is simple and sturdy with single-storey forms and compact joins, giving a clean rhythm at text sizes.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and brand systems where a distinctive geometric voice is needed. It also works well for packaging and tech-oriented interfaces or signage, especially where large sizes can showcase the characteristic notched apertures and rounded structure.
The design reads as modern and engineered, with a slightly retro, sci‑fi flavor driven by the notched apertures and rounded geometry. It feels assertive and contemporary, but the softened corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
Likely intended as a contemporary display sans that differentiates itself through a consistent system of cut-in apertures and rounded, geometric construction. The goal appears to be high impact and recognizability while maintaining clear, simplified letterforms.
The caps have a strong, display-oriented presence, while the lowercase remains straightforward and highly legible. Numerals are bold and stylized, with the same slit-aperture motif appearing in 8 and 9, reinforcing a cohesive system across letters and figures.
