A monoline, rectilinear sans built from straight segments and crisp corners, with curves replaced by squared turns and chamfer-like joints. The forms sit on a consistent grid logic: counters are boxy, bowls read as rounded-rectangles, and terminals are clean and unbracketed. Uppercase construction is largely architectural and schematic, while the lowercase stays narrow and compact with simple stems and small apertures; the numerals follow the same squared geometry and maintain a steady, even rhythm. Overall spacing feels open and orderly, emphasizing a clean line-drawn silhouette rather than mass or texture.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, titles, UI labels, product markings, and technology-oriented branding where its geometric, faceted construction reads clearly. It also works well for short blocks of text in interfaces or signage, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the angular detailing and squared counters remain distinct.
The font conveys a cool, engineered tone—more instrument-panel and interface than editorial. Its angular, planar construction reads as futuristic and systematic, with a lightly “coded” or sci‑fi flavor that still remains restrained and legible.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric grid into a clean, contemporary alphabet, prioritizing precision and a machine-made aesthetic. By substituting curves with planar turns and consistent right angles, it aims to evoke modern digital systems while keeping letterforms simple and structurally consistent.
The typeface relies on consistent stroke weight and repeated corner behavior to create cohesion; distinctive diagonal joins (notably in letters like A, K, M, N, V, W, X, Y) add energy without breaking the strict geometry. Boxy counters and right-angled turns give it a crisp on-screen feel, especially in larger sizes where the facet-like construction becomes a feature.
