A monoline, squared display face built from straight strokes with generously rounded corners and frequent open joins. The construction leans on rectangular counters and boxy curves, with occasional tapered terminals and small asymmetries that give it a hand-drawn, experimental feel. Letterforms mix closed and partially open shapes (notably in several bowls and curves), producing a slightly stencil-like rhythm, while widths vary from compact to extended across the set. Overall spacing and proportions favor legibility at larger sizes, with crisp, high-contrast negative space created by the squared interior geometry.
Best suited to short bursts of text—posters, headlines, branding marks, and punchy labels—where its unusual construction can be appreciated. It can also work for game or app UI accents and themed graphics that want a retro-futuristic, playful edge, but it’s less appropriate for long-form reading.
The tone is playful and offbeat, combining a DIY marker/plotter vibe with a light sci‑fi or arcade flavor. Its quirky openings and angular rounding make it feel energetic and a bit mischievous rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, experimental voice through simplified, geometric strokes and deliberately unconventional openings. It prioritizes character and visual rhythm over typographic neutrality, aiming to stand out in display settings.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent stroke logic, but the character set embraces idiosyncratic details (open apertures, unconventional diagonals, and occasional unevenness) that read as intentional personality. Numerals echo the same squared, modular construction, reinforcing a cohesive, gadget-like look.
