A geometric sans built from straight strokes and crisp 90° corners, with broadly monoline weight and minimal modulation. Curves are largely replaced by squared bowls and chamfered diagonals, giving many counters a rectangular, constructed feel. Terminals tend to be flat and abrupt, and several forms use open corners or segmented joins that read slightly stencil-like. Proportions are compact and grid-friendly, with consistent stroke rhythm and a distinctly engineered, schematic texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and poster typography where its geometric, angular construction can become a visual motif. It also fits UI display settings, dashboards, and product/tech packaging where a precise, engineered tone is desirable. For longer reading, it works most comfortably at larger sizes where the squared details and segmented joins remain clear.
The overall tone feels technical and industrial, with a modular, machine-made personality. Its sharp angles and squared apertures suggest digital interfaces, sci‑fi labeling, and engineered systems rather than warmth or calligraphic expression.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-based, technical aesthetic into a readable sans, emphasizing sharp geometry, modular construction, and a futuristic industrial flavor while keeping a consistent, systematized rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Distinctive squared bowls appear across round letters (such as O/Q and lower-case o/p), and diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are clean and steep, reinforcing a constructed, polygonal motif. The numerals follow the same rectilinear logic, producing a cohesive, display-leaning voice that remains legible in short passages.
