A monoline, obliqued sans with a wireframe construction and strong geometric bias. Letterforms are built from straight segments with sharp corners and frequent chamfers, creating faceted counters and clipped terminals. Curves are largely avoided in favor of polygonal approximations, giving rounds like O/0 and bowls a squarish, angled silhouette. The rhythm is open and airy, with generous internal space, a relatively tall feel in capitals, and a technical, drafted appearance across both upper- and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where its faceted geometry can be appreciated: headlines, posters, sci‑fi or tech-themed branding, product marks, and interface-style graphics. It can also work for short labels or navigation elements when you want a schematic, engineered tone, but its thin, angular strokes favor larger sizes over long-form text.
The overall tone is futuristic and instrument-like, suggesting digital interfaces, aerospace/industrial graphics, and retro sci‑fi titling. Its angled strokes and polygonal shapes read as analytical and engineered rather than friendly or humanist, with a crisp, synthetic personality.
The design appears intended to translate a minimalist, CAD-like drawing language into typography—prioritizing straight-line geometry, chamfered joins, and a cohesive polygonal system. It aims to communicate speed, precision, and a contemporary-tech aesthetic through consistent, constructed forms.
Distinctive constructions—such as squared, cut-corner bowls and segmented diagonals—create a consistent system across letters and numerals, emphasizing a modular, plotted look. The oblique slant is integral to the design, reinforcing motion and speed while keeping forms clean and uncluttered.
