A geometric, monoline sans built from straight segments and softened, squared corners, giving most glyphs a rectilinear skeleton with consistent stroke thickness. Curves are largely replaced by planar turns and short horizontals, producing a modular rhythm and a slightly pixel-like, engineered texture. Counters tend to be open and boxy, terminals are clean and flat, and diagonals (as in K, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and sparingly used. Numerals follow the same squared construction, with forms that read clearly but feel intentionally schematic rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to display sizes where its faceted geometry and squared cornering can be appreciated—interface titles, product and tech branding, posters, and environmental or wayfinding-style labels. It can work in short text settings for a distinctly technical flavor, but its stylized constructions are likely most effective for headings, captions, and compact blocks rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is crisp and synthetic, evoking digital interfaces, industrial labeling, and retro-futurist sci‑fi aesthetics. Its disciplined geometry and faceted turns create a cool, efficient voice that feels modern and slightly arcade-like without becoming playful or decorative.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a clean sans structure into a faceted, rectilinear system, prioritizing repeatable parts, consistent corner radii, and a schematic feel. The intention seems to be a contemporary techno aesthetic that remains legible while clearly departing from conventional curved sans shapes.
The design maintains strong consistency in corner treatment and stroke behavior, which helps it hold together across mixed-case text. Some letters use simplified, sign-like constructions (notably the rounded-rectangle bowls and stepped joins), emphasizing a systemized, techno grammar over traditional humanist modulation.
