A monoline display face built from angular, mostly straight strokes with softly rounded corners. Letterforms lean consistently, giving a forward-slanted rhythm, and many glyphs are constructed from open, squared-off bowls and simplified terminals. Proportions feel expanded and airy, with generous internal counters and a clean, even stroke weight throughout. The overall texture is lightly mechanical yet intentionally irregular, with small asymmetries and simplified joins that keep the shapes from feeling strictly modular.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, poster titles, logos, and packaging where its angular construction and slanted rhythm can be appreciated. It also fits retro-tech themed graphics, event promotions, and album or game branding, especially when set with ample tracking and at larger sizes.
The tone reads as retro-futurist and playful: part sci‑fi interface, part hand-built signage. Its slant and squared geometry create a sense of motion and energy, while the rounded corners soften the effect into something approachable and quirky rather than severe.
The font appears designed to blend geometric, squared construction with a casual, stylized slant—creating a distinctive display voice that feels both vintage-inspired and forward-looking. Its simplified, open structures prioritize personality and visual rhythm over strict neutrality, aiming for memorable word shapes in branding and title use.
The design relies on distinctive open forms and pared-down crossbars, which increases character but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same boxy construction, with the 0 appearing as a slashed form, reinforcing a technical, coded aesthetic.
