A monoline, angular display face built from straight strokes with small right-angled hooks and occasional open corners. The glyphs lean on squared bowls and rectangular counters, with subtly uneven stroke joins that feel hand-drawn rather than mechanically perfect. Curves are largely avoided in favor of faceted shapes, while terminals often end in short perpendicular ticks that create a distinctive notched silhouette. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, producing an intentionally inconsistent rhythm, and spacing in text shows a lively, slightly jittery texture that remains readable at display sizes.
Best suited to short headlines, posters, packaging accents, and themed interface elements where personality matters more than typographic neutrality. It works especially well for playful sci‑fi, puzzle, or arcade-flavored branding, and for titles where its jagged, boxy texture can be read at larger sizes.
The overall tone is eccentric and puzzle-like, with a DIY, coded feel that suggests diagrams, runes, or improvised signage. Its crisp angles and hooked terminals add a mischievous edge, balancing playfulness with a mildly enigmatic, tech-archaeology mood.
The design appears intended to deliver an offbeat, constructed look by combining monoline strokes, squared geometry, and signature hooked terminals, creating a cohesive “coded” aesthetic without becoming fully abstract. Variation in widths and letter construction seems deliberate, aiming for a one-off, hand-built display voice rather than uniform text regularity.
Uppercase forms tend to be more geometric and box-framed, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic constructions and asymmetries, reinforcing the experimental character. Numerals are similarly squared and stylized, with simplified, linear structures that match the font’s notched terminal motif.
