A geometric sans rendered as an outline drawing, with a consistent monoline contour and no interior fill. Forms are built from straight segments and broad-radius corners, producing a squarish, rounded-rectangle skeleton across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Counters are generous and open, terminals are blunt, and joins stay crisp, giving the face a tidy, engineered rhythm. Numerals and uppercase share a stable, modular construction, while the lowercase keeps simple, single-storey shapes with compact shoulders and minimal gesture.
Best used for display settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and large-format signage where the outline effect remains crisp and intentional. It also fits UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding-style graphics when used at sufficient size and with strong contrast. For long body text, the outline-only construction may feel too light and visually busy.
The outlined construction and rounded-rect geometry create a modern, technical feel with a hint of retro display styling. It reads as sporty and utilitarian rather than formal, suggesting signage, instrumentation, and graphic labeling. The airy interior space lends a light, schematic tone suited to contemporary UI or industrial-inspired branding.
The design appears intended to offer a clean, modular outline sans that feels engineered and contemporary, prioritizing consistent geometry and legibility in large-scale applications. Its rounded-rect proportions and schematic stroke treatment suggest a focus on technical branding and graphic systems where a lightweight, non-filled letterform adds visual distinction.
Because only the contour is drawn, the letterforms depend heavily on background contrast and adequate size; at small sizes the thin outline can visually break up. The squarish rounds and uniform contour thickness help maintain consistency across the set, especially in all-caps headlines and numeric-heavy compositions.
