A monoline, geometric sans with segmented strokes and deliberate gaps that create an open, hollowed construction. Curves are drawn as partial arcs rather than continuous outlines, while straight strokes end in crisp, squared terminals, giving the alphabet a modular, engineered feel. The forms keep generous interior space and a light visual footprint, with consistent stroke behavior across caps, lowercase, and numerals; round characters read as broken rings and verticals stay clean and rigid. Spacing appears even and controlled in text, producing an airy, patterned texture with frequent internal breaks.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short-to-medium display text where the hollow segmentation remains clear. It works well for branding, packaging, and event or exhibition graphics that benefit from a technical, futuristic voice, and can add a crisp, architectural texture in larger-size editorial layouts.
The overall tone is high-tech and design-forward, suggesting digital interfaces, sci‑fi titling, and contemporary minimalism. Its cut-out rhythm and shadow-like separation add a sense of motion and precision, reading more display-oriented than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to translate a clean geometric sans into an airy, deconstructed display style by removing portions of strokes and implying depth through separated, shadow-like elements. The goal seems to be strong visual identity with a consistent modular system across the character set.
The distinctive gaps and offset-like interior cuts become a strong repeating motif in paragraphs, so the face feels most confident when its open construction is allowed to read as texture rather than as continuous strokes. Numerals and punctuation adopt the same segmented logic, reinforcing the cohesive, schematic aesthetic.
