A monolinear, angular sans built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with a distinctly constructed, almost plotted feel. Curves are minimized or replaced by faceted joins, giving round letters like O and Q a rectangular, chamfered silhouette. Terminals are mostly blunt and unmodulated, and several glyphs use open or broken joins (notably in C, S, and some lowercase forms), adding a skeletal, engineered rhythm. Proportions skew tall and compact, with tight interior spaces and simplified, sign-like numerals that echo the same rectilinear geometry.
Best suited to headlines, short UI labels, posters, and identity work where its geometric, schematic character can read clearly and set a mood. It can also work for packaging or editorial pull quotes that benefit from a technical/retro voice, while extended body text will generally need generous size and spacing to maintain clarity.
The overall tone reads technical and retro-futurist, like labeling on instruments, architectural drawings, or early digital interfaces. Its deliberate, constructed shapes feel precise and machine-made, with a slightly eccentric, experimental edge that keeps it from feeling purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to translate a drawn-by-rule, modular construction into a clean sans, prioritizing a futuristic, technical impression over conventional readability. Its faceted geometry and open joins suggest a deliberate nod to drafting, signage, and early digital typography aesthetics.
Distinctive letterform quirks—such as faceted bowls, asymmetric joints, and occasional intentional gaps—create strong personality but also make the texture more jagged in long passages. The gridlike construction yields crisp silhouettes at display sizes, while the narrow apertures and angular counters can look busy when set small or tightly spaced.
