A monoline, constructed sans built from straight strokes and crisp corners, with a strong squared-off geometry throughout. Bowls and curves are largely reduced to rectilinear forms, giving letters like O/Q and C/G a boxy, plotted feel. Terminals are typically flat and open, with occasional cut-ins and notches that add a mechanical rhythm. Proportions are compact and consistent, with simple vertical stress and a clean, grid-like cadence across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short-form display use where its angular construction can read as a deliberate stylistic choice—headlines, posters, packaging accents, and tech-themed branding. It can also work for UI labels, dashboards, or schematic-style infographics where a geometric, drawn-on-a-grid voice is desirable, provided sizes are generous for clarity.
The overall tone feels technical and schematic, like lettering drawn for diagrams or early digital interfaces. Its angular simplification and wireframe lightness also suggest a retro-futurist, arcade or terminal-era sensibility. Small quirks in construction keep it from feeling purely utilitarian, adding a mildly playful, experimental edge.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, grid-drawn lettering concept into a usable text alphabet, prioritizing straight-stroke construction and a consistent rectilinear system. It aims to evoke technical precision and retro digital culture while retaining enough idiosyncratic shapes to feel custom rather than purely generic.
Distinctive details include squared counters, open apertures, and occasional asymmetrical joins (notably in some diagonals and leg structures) that emphasize a hand-constructed, plotted aesthetic. Numerals follow the same rectilinear logic, maintaining a consistent mechanical texture in running text.
