A monoline, condensed sans with tall proportions and a consistently narrow footprint. Many curves are rendered as smooth arcs interrupted by straight, planar chords, giving round letters a subtly faceted, engineered feel. Counters are small and vertically biased, terminals are clean and mostly flat, and joins are crisp with little optical softening. The lowercase features a tall x-height with simplified, single-storey forms, while capitals keep a disciplined, grid-like geometry. Numerals follow the same slender construction, with open, airy shapes and minimal stroke modulation.
Best suited to display applications where its slender, faceted geometry can be appreciated—headlines, logotypes, posters, editorial pull quotes, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding where a sleek, technical tone is desired and sizes are generous enough to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is cool, modern, and precise—evoking digital interfaces, sci‑fi titling, and streamlined signage. Its restrained stroke and modular geometry convey a crafted, technical personality rather than warmth or calligraphic expressiveness.
The design appears intended to reinterpret geometric sans forms through a reductive, architectural lens, replacing fully rounded construction with planar cuts while maintaining a consistent monoline framework. It aims to deliver a distinctive futuristic voice with strong vertical economy for impactful titling.
Distinctive crossbar placements and chorded arcs create an idiosyncratic texture in continuous text, increasing character while slightly reducing traditional readability at smaller sizes. The rhythm is vertical and even, with tight internal spacing and strong emphasis on straight stems and narrow apertures.
