A monoline, hand-drawn sans built from straight strokes and flattened corners, with faceted, polygonal bowls that substitute for smooth curves. Stroke weight stays consistent, but line quality is intentionally uneven, with subtle wobble and slightly inconsistent joins that create a casual, sketched rhythm. Proportions vary across glyphs, with squared counters and open apertures in letters like C, G, and S; diagonals are crisp and narrow in forms like V, W, X, and Y. Figures and lowercase echo the same boxy, planar construction, producing a lightly mechanical yet handmade texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its angular, hand-built character can be seen clearly—posters, headlines, short branding phrases, logo wordmarks, and packaging accents. It can work for playful UI labels or section headers, but the sketchy irregularity is most effective at larger sizes rather than dense, continuous reading.
The overall tone is playful and offbeat, combining a technical, geometric framework with an informal handwritten feel. Its faceted construction reads slightly sci‑fi and schematic, while the irregular stroke behavior keeps it approachable and whimsical rather than rigid.
The design appears intended to fuse geometric, faceted letter construction with a deliberately imperfect, hand-drawn execution. It prioritizes distinctive texture and personality over strict consistency, aiming for an experimental, crafted look that still reads as a clean sans framework.
Letterforms often rely on simplified, rectilinear bowls (notably in O, Q, D, and 0) and compact, squared terminals that emphasize a wireframe look. In running text, the unevenness becomes a defining texture, giving lines a lively, jittered cadence rather than a smooth typographic color.
