A monoline, constructed display face drawn with straight segments and shallow angles, giving many curves a faceted, polygonal feel. Strokes end in small round dots, creating a plotted or peg-and-joint look that reads like connected points rather than continuous pen curves. The rhythm is intentionally irregular: bowls and rounds are simplified into multi-sided shapes, diagonals are crisp, and some counters appear slightly off-center, reinforcing a hand-built, experimental construction. Numerals and capitals are open and airy, with generous interior space and occasional extended terminals that emphasize the skeletal structure.
Best suited for short-form display typography such as headlines, posters, packaging accents, event promotion, and playful branding where its dotted, jointed construction can be appreciated. It works particularly well at medium to large sizes and in contexts that benefit from a quirky, handmade-geometric voice.
The overall tone is eccentric and lighthearted, like a geometric doodle or a constellation diagram turned into letterforms. The dotted endpoints add a charming, improvised character that feels crafty and playful rather than formal or technical.
The letterforms appear designed to explore a point-to-point, constructed drawing system—turning familiar Latin shapes into simplified, faceted structures with visible endpoints. The intent reads as decorative and experimental, prioritizing distinctive texture and personality over conventional smoothness.
The design relies heavily on straight-line geometry, so round letters (such as O/C/G and S) read as faceted outlines. The dotted terminals become a consistent signature across the set and can create visual sparkle at larger sizes; in dense settings they may increase perceived texture and busyness.
