A monoline, geometric sans built from straight strokes and sharp angles, with frequent chamfered corners and polygonal counters that read as octagonal or hexagonal forms. Curves are largely absent; bowls and rounds are constructed from faceted segments, giving letters like O/Q and C/G a cut, industrial profile. Stroke endings are crisp and unbracketed, with occasional open joins and simplified terminals that create a drawn-with-a-plotter feel. Spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably, contributing to an uneven, modular rhythm in text while keeping a consistent line weight and angular construction throughout.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where its wireframe geometry can be appreciated. It can work well for tech branding, science/engineering themed graphics, game/interface accents, and poster work that benefits from a constructed, futuristic look. For body copy, it will be more successful in generous sizes with ample tracking.
The overall tone is technical and futuristic, like lettering from a schematic, wireframe UI, or retro sci‑fi interface. Its faceted geometry and sparse strokes feel analytical and engineered rather than warm or expressive, projecting a cool, experimental personality.
The design appears intended to explore a constructed, faceted sans language—reducing letters to straight segments and chamfered corners to evoke technical drafting and retro-futurist display typography rather than conventional reading comfort.
Legibility is strongest at larger sizes where the segmented construction and open joins read intentionally; at smaller sizes the thin strokes and unconventional forms can make similar shapes (e.g., C/G/O/Q and some lowercase) feel closer together. The lowercase follows the same geometric logic and tends to look more like compact, constructed variants than traditional text forms, reinforcing the display-oriented character.
