A monoline, angular sans built from straight segments and crisp corners, with a distinctly squared, constructed feel. Curves are minimized or implied through chamfered turns, and many counters resolve as narrow rectangles or open-sided forms. Terminals are mostly blunt with occasional hooked or notched ends, giving the strokes a hand-built, modular rhythm. Proportions skew tall and compact, with tight bowls, narrow apertures, and a slightly irregular, drafted consistency across the set.
Best suited to display sizes where its angular construction and narrow counters remain clear—headlines, posters, logotypes, titles, and UI or HUD-style graphics. It can work for short bursts of text in branding or packaging where a futuristic, engineered voice is desired, but the rigid geometry and tight openings make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The overall tone reads techno and futuristic, like lettering designed for interfaces, machinery labels, or a retro digital display. Its rigid geometry and occasional offbeat joins add a quirky, experimental edge that feels more schematic than typographic in the traditional sense.
The design intention appears to be a constructed, geometric sans that evokes technical drafting and retro-futurist digital lettering, using straight-stroke modular forms to create a distinctive, high-identity texture.
In text, the jagged joins and squared counters create a distinctive texture with strong vertical emphasis. The alphabet shows deliberate simplification of forms (especially rounded letters) and a mix of closed and partially open constructions that prioritizes style and pattern over conventional softness.
