A rectilinear, monoline sans built from straight strokes and hard corners, with a strong grid logic and frequent squared curves. Forms are largely open and modular, relying on right angles, clipped diagonals, and occasional triangular joins (notably in V/W/X-style constructions) rather than continuous curves. Counters tend to be boxy or partially open, terminals are flat and unbracketed, and the overall rhythm feels engineered and systematic. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s geometric vocabulary, keeping simplified bowls and squared apertures for a consistent, constructed texture in text.
Best suited for display applications where the constructed geometry can be appreciated: headlines, posters, logos/branding in tech contexts, game or sci‑fi titling, and interface labeling. It can work for short text and captions when set generously, but its stylized, open constructions favor larger sizes and clear spacing.
The overall tone is tech-forward and utilitarian, evoking digital interfaces, sci-fi signage, and schematic labeling. Its sharp, squared geometry reads as precise and slightly austere, with a playful retro-computing edge from the modular letter construction.
The design appears intended to explore a modular, grid-drawn sans concept—prioritizing a consistent straight-stroke system and a futuristic, digital flavor over traditional humanist readability. It aims for a distinctive, engineered silhouette that remains coherent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Several glyphs use intentionally unconventional structure—mixing open bowls, inset corners, and segmented strokes—which increases distinctiveness but can reduce familiarity at small sizes. Numerals follow the same box-and-stroke logic, with angular turns and open shapes that align well with the font’s mechanical, grid-based personality.
