A monoline display face built from straight, rectilinear strokes and squared curves, giving many glyphs a boxed, scaffold-like construction. Terminals are flat and often extended into small slab-like feet, creating a crisp, engineered rhythm with occasional overhanging strokes. Counters tend to be rectangular or softly squared, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are thin and sharp against the dominant verticals and horizontals. The overall texture is airy and linear, with a controlled, modular feel across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to large sizes where its fine strokes and rectilinear details stay clear—headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging accents, and wayfinding or interface labeling with a tech-forward aesthetic. It can also work for short blocks of display text where a sleek, minimal voice is desired.
The tone reads modern and technical, evoking instrumentation, schematic labeling, and retro-futurist signage. Its strict geometry and hairline presence feel clinical and precise rather than warm or calligraphic.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a lightweight, geometric display voice with squared, slab-like terminals—prioritizing an engineered, modular look and strong stylistic identity over conventional text ergonomics.
The design relies on tight right angles and squared bowls (notably in C, G, O/0, and e), while several forms show distinctive protruding arms or short baseline/ capline extensions that add a mechanical character. Numerals are similarly boxy, with the 1 rendered as a simple vertical and the 4/7 formed from clean, straight segments.
