A monolinear sans with a distinctly constructed feel, mixing straight strokes with softly rounded corners and frequent chamfered/angled terminals. Many curves resolve into squared-off bowls and polygonal arcs, giving letters a slightly octagonal geometry rather than fully circular forms. Stroke endings are often cut at an angle, and joins can feel intentionally mechanical, producing a brisk rhythm and a lightly “engineered” texture in text. Proportions are clean and readable, with open counters and uncomplicated interior shapes that keep the letterforms crisp at display sizes.
Well-suited for branding, headlines, posters, and signage where a technical or futuristic voice is desired. It can also work for UI labels and interface microcopy when a distinctive, constructed tone is appropriate, though its angular detailing will remain visually present in longer passages.
The overall tone is modern and technical with a playful edge—like signage lettering adapted into a contemporary, gadget-like aesthetic. Its angular rounding and cut terminals suggest a futuristic or fabricated sensibility rather than a neutral office sans.
The design appears intended to offer a recognizable, engineered sans voice—retaining straightforward sans readability while introducing chamfers and polygonal curves to create a more distinctive, modern identity.
The digit set follows the same constructed logic, with simplified, geometric curves and angled cuts that keep numerals consistent with the alphabet. In paragraphs, the distinctive terminals create a noticeable patterning, making the face feel more characterful than purely neutral sans options.
