A monoline, right-leaning sans with a distinctly segmented construction: curves are broken into short straight runs with frequent chamfered corners, giving many bowls an octagonal feel. Strokes stay consistently thin and even, with open counters and a slightly condensed, forward-driving rhythm. Diagonals are crisp and prominent (notably in A, K, V, W, X, Y), while horizontals and terminals often end in clipped angles rather than rounded joins. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with angular turns and minimal ornament.
Well-suited to science-fiction interfaces, tech-forward branding, and display typography where a geometric, engineered feel is desirable. It can work for posters, titles, and short labels—especially in high-contrast layouts—while longer paragraphs may read best at larger sizes due to the thin strokes and segmented curves.
The overall tone feels technical and futuristic, like lettering derived from plotting, drafting, or instrument markings. Its faceted geometry and light stroke weight read as precise and engineered rather than friendly or expressive, lending a clean, synthetic voice to display settings.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a basic sans skeleton through a faceted, plotter-like construction, emphasizing angular joins and simplified geometry while retaining familiar letterforms. The consistent thin stroke and forward slant suggest a goal of conveying speed, precision, and a contemporary technical aesthetic.
Because many curves are approximated by straight segments, the texture becomes more apparent as size increases, producing a distinctive "constructed" look in words. The italic slant and narrow joins create a brisk pace, while the very light strokes suggest it will benefit from ample size and contrast against the background.
