A clean, monoline sans with predominantly geometric construction: near-circular O/Q forms, simple vertical stems, and open, airy counters. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey feel (notably a and g), while many glyphs introduce small incised notches, dots, or cut-in strokes that read as intentional “glitch” accents rather than texture. Curves are smooth and evenly weighted, joins are crisp, and the overall rhythm stays orderly despite the occasional internal marks. Numerals follow the same sparse geometry, with round bowls and minimal modulation.
Best suited for display settings such as branding, headlines, posters, and editorial titles where the internal cut-in details can be clearly seen. It can also work for short UI labels or packaging accents when a clean sans is desired with a subtle twist, but extended small-size text may reduce the visibility of its signature marks.
The font balances calm modern clarity with a mischievous, experimental edge. The small interruptions inside otherwise familiar letterforms create a coded, tech-adjacent personality—like a minimalist sans that’s been subtly hacked—giving text a playful, slightly futuristic tone without becoming noisy.
Likely designed to take a familiar geometric sans foundation and inject a controlled set of internal interruptions to create distinctiveness. The aim appears to be maintaining legibility and a modern baseline while adding a recognizable, experimental motif that gives words a unique visual signature.
The distinctive identity comes from recurring internal details (small wedges, dots, and cut strokes) placed within counters or along strokes in both uppercase and lowercase. These accents are consistent enough to feel like a system, and they stand out most at display sizes, where the marks read as character rather than artifacts.
