A monoline, hand-drawn display face built from angular, geometric strokes with softly rounded corners and slightly irregular, pen-like joins. Many forms lean on open counters, squared bowls, and kinked diagonals, creating a wireframe look with a consistent light stroke and airy interior space. Proportions feel compact in the lowercase with modest ascenders/descenders, while capitals are tall and narrow with a steady rhythm; figures echo the same straight-segment construction for a cohesive alphanumeric set.
Best for short display settings such as headlines, posters, cover art, and branding where its geometric hand-drawn character can lead the voice. It can also work for game UI, sci‑fi themed interfaces, and labels where a technical, schematic flavor is desirable; for long passages, its angular texture is more effective in small bursts than continuous reading.
The overall tone feels futuristic and technical, like quick schematic lettering or a hand-rendered interface label. Its slight wobble and unconventional constructions add a quirky, informal edge that keeps it from feeling purely engineered.
The font appears designed to merge calligraphic, hand-drawn energy with a constructed, geometric skeleton—prioritizing distinctive silhouettes and a futuristic mood over conventional text neutrality.
The design relies on straight segments and angled terminals rather than true curves, which gives text a faceted texture in longer lines. Distinctive, simplified shapes increase personality but also make the face feel best suited to larger sizes where the open forms and irregularities read clearly.
