A geometric, monolinear sans with a consistent cell-based rhythm and crisp, faceted construction. Curves are largely replaced by chamfered corners and squared bowls, producing octagonal rounds in letters like O and Q and hard, planar turns in C and S. Terminals are blunt and uniform, with straight horizontals and verticals dominating and diagonals used sparingly but cleanly in forms such as A, V, W, X, and Y. Counters are open and rectangular-leaning, and the overall drawing favors clear, modular shapes and stable proportions suited to fixed-width composition.
This design works well where consistent character width and repeatable rhythm help scanning: code snippets, terminal-style displays, dashboards, and compact UI labeling. It also suits technical documentation, product marking, and systemy branding applications that benefit from an angular, precision-built voice.
The typeface conveys a technical, engineered tone—precise, systematic, and slightly retro-futurist. Its faceted geometry and tight, gridlike cadence feel at home in digital interfaces and machine-forward aesthetics, while remaining restrained rather than decorative.
The letterforms appear designed around a modular, faceted geometry that substitutes chamfers for true curves, aiming for a clean, engineered look with dependable regularity in setting. The consistent stroke treatment and disciplined spacing suggest an emphasis on clarity and predictable texture in structured layouts.
Numerals and capitals maintain the same squared, chamfered logic as the letters, reinforcing a cohesive system across sets. Spacing appears even and deliberate, emphasizing predictable texture in lines of text and a strong, schematic silhouette in headlines.
