A monoline, angular sans built from straight strokes and sharp corner joints, with curves consistently replaced by planar facets. Proportions run on the roomy side with generous sidebearings and open counters, while many glyphs lean into diamond and triangular constructions that create a crisp, segmented silhouette. Stroke endings are clean and unadorned, and the overall rhythm is airy and evenly spaced, with slightly irregular, constructed widths that emphasize a handmade-geometric feel over strict modular uniformity.
Best suited to display settings where its geometric constructions can be appreciated—headlines, poster typography, title treatments, and branding marks for technology, gaming, or speculative themes. It can work in short bursts for UI labels or packaging accents, but the stylized forms are most effective at larger sizes and with generous tracking.
The faceted geometry and rune-like letterforms give the font a sci‑fi and cryptic tone, reading as both technical and ornamental. Its sparse, wireframe presence feels experimental and atmospheric—more about mood and identity than conventional neutrality.
The design appears intended to translate a minimalist, straight-line drawing system into a full Latin set, prioritizing a faceted, crystalline motif over traditional curves. Its aim is to deliver a distinctive, futuristic voice while maintaining enough structure and spacing to set readable words in display contexts.
Several characters rely on distinctive angular substitutions (notably rounded letters rendered as diamonds or clipped polygons), which increases visual personality but also raises the novelty factor in dense text. The consistent line weight and sharp joins keep the texture coherent, while the faceting introduces a deliberate, crystalline pattern across words.
