A thin, geometric sans built from straight strokes and rounded-corner joints, with a distinctly rectilinear, octagonal construction. Bowls and counters tend toward squared shapes, and diagonals appear sparingly, giving the design a modular, drawn-with-a-tool feel. Proportions are compact with a low x-height, and widths vary by glyph, creating an uneven but deliberate rhythm in words. Terminals are clean and open, with occasional gaps and simplified joins that reinforce the constructed aesthetic.
Best suited to display applications where its angular construction can be appreciated: headlines, short calls to action, interface labels, sci‑fi or tech-themed branding, and poster typography. It can work for short paragraphs at larger sizes, but the low x-height and constructed details make it less ideal for dense body copy.
The overall tone reads as technical and futuristic, reminiscent of instrument panels, sci‑fi interfaces, and plotter/blueprint lettering. Its controlled geometry and open corners create a cool, engineered personality rather than a friendly or editorial one.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, engineered sans voice using a minimal, modular stroke vocabulary. It prioritizes a consistent technical geometry and a futuristic graphic texture over conventional readability norms, aiming for a strong stylistic signature in titles and branding.
Distinctive letterforms—such as the angular M/W, the open C/E/S constructions, and the stylized figures—emphasize recognizability through geometry rather than traditional sans conventions. The light stroke and open joins benefit from generous sizing and spacing to maintain clarity in continuous text.
