A condensed, geometric sans built from a single-stroke line with crisp right-angle turns and frequent 45° chamfered corners. Counters are small and mostly rectangular or octagonal, and curved letters are translated into faceted forms (notably in C/G/O and the bowls of B/D/P/R). The construction favors tall, narrow proportions with generous vertical emphasis and tight horizontal spans, producing a rigid, modular rhythm across words. Terminals are clean and abrupt, with occasional notched joins and simplified diagonals that keep the overall texture airy but strongly structured.
Best suited for display settings where its narrow, faceted geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, title cards, and brand marks with a technical or futuristic theme. It also works well for short UI labels, diagrams, or wayfinding-style signage where a precise, engineered aesthetic is desired, but it is less ideal for long paragraphs at small sizes due to its tight proportions and angular counters.
The font projects a technical, schematic feel—like labeling from instrumentation, wayfinding systems, or retro-futurist interfaces. Its faceted geometry and narrow stance evoke an architectural, engineered tone rather than a friendly or handwritten one, leaning toward a cool, utilitarian mood.
The design appears intended to translate classic sans proportions into a rectilinear, chamfered construction, prioritizing a consistent modular system and a distinctive wireframe texture. The goal seems to be a strong visual signature for technical or retro-futurist contexts while maintaining straightforward sans readability in short bursts.
Distinctive details include squared-off, boxy forms for rounded letters, a sharply constructed uppercase with consistent cap height, and a minimalist lowercase that reads more like compact signage lettering than text type. The numerals follow the same rectilinear logic, staying open and linear rather than fully closed and heavy, which reinforces the font’s airy, wireframe character.
