A constructed sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly geometric skeleton. Many glyphs combine straight segments with generous circular bowls, producing a crisp, modular rhythm. Curves are smooth and open, with rounded joins and clean terminals; several characters show deliberate breaks or simplified connections that give the design an engineered feel. Proportions are on the wide side with spacious counters, and the overall texture stays even and airy in continuous text.
Best suited to display use where its constructed details can be appreciated: headlines, branding, posters, and editorial titling. The open counters and steady stroke weight can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding-style applications when set at comfortable sizes and with adequate spacing.
The tone feels modernist and technical, with a slightly futuristic, schematic character. Its open shapes and pared-down details read as clean and rational, while the intentional construction quirks add a distinctive, designed personality rather than a generic neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean geometric sans with a recognizable, constructed twist—balancing straightforward legibility with distinctive structural decisions. It aims for a contemporary, system-like aesthetic that stands out in branding and titling without relying on decoration.
Distinctive identifying features include simplified/segmented constructions in some capitals and a generally open, uncluttered treatment of apertures and bowls. The numerals follow the same geometric logic, with clear forms and consistent stroke behavior that keeps them visually aligned with the letters.
