A geometric, rectilinear sans built from uniformly thin strokes and sharp corners. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments, producing boxy bowls and polygonal joins (notably in characters like O, Q, D, and G). Proportions are compact and space-efficient, with a relatively tall, clean x-height and simple, open counters; several forms use squared terminals and occasional angled cuts that add a faceted, constructed feel. Spacing reads even in running text, though the intentionally schematic outlines create a slightly mechanical rhythm.
This design suits short to medium-length settings where a crisp, engineered voice is desirable—interface labels, signage-style headings, tech or gaming graphics, and poster titling. It can also work as a secondary display face for packaging or branding that leans modern and schematic, especially at sizes where the thin strokes remain clear.
The overall tone is technical and futuristic, like labeling from industrial devices or a sci‑fi interface. Its pared-back linework and angular construction feel precise, utilitarian, and slightly experimental, emphasizing structure over warmth.
The font appears intended to reinterpret a neo-grotesque sans through a strictly geometric, straight-line construction, prioritizing a modular drawing system and a clean, high-precision look. The design leans toward display and UI-oriented communication where a futuristic, technical identity is a benefit.
Distinctive details include the squared, almost octagonal treatment of round letters and a mix of straight and angled strokes in diagonals that can feel "drawn with a ruler." Numerals follow the same modular logic, with open, segmented forms that reinforce the digital/diagrammatic personality.
