A monoline, angular sans with frequent chamfered corners and open, geometric construction. Strokes are consistently thin with a slightly jittery, hand-drawn wobble, and joins often break into short segments that create a wireframe/outlined feel rather than fully closed bowls. Curves are largely replaced by faceted arcs (notably in O/0 and rounded lowercase), giving the alphabet an octagonal rhythm. Overall spacing and widths vary modestly between glyphs, reinforcing an improvised, draft-like texture.
Works well for sci‑fi or tech-forward headlines, interface-style labels, packaging accents, and posters where a schematic, retro-digital flavor is desired. It can also add an industrial edge to logos and album artwork, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the faceting and broken joins remain clear.
The font reads as technical and retro-futuristic, evoking plotter drawings, schematic lettering, and arcade/terminal-era geometry. Its subtle roughness adds a lightly distressed, glitchy character that feels experimental rather than polished. The tone is cool, utilitarian, and slightly cyber-industrial.
Likely designed to mimic hand-plotted or blueprint lettering: geometric, corner-cut forms rendered with a thin pen line and a controlled amount of irregularity. The goal appears to be a distinctive technical voice with a touch of distressed imperfection, balancing precision with an experimental, constructed look.
Capitals are tall and linear with strong vertical emphasis, while round letters (C/G/O/Q and 0/8/9) take on a faceted, stop-sign-like silhouette. Lowercase forms keep the same angular vocabulary and include occasional open counters and kinked terminals that enhance the drafted aesthetic.
