A slender, forward-leaning sans built from straight segments and crisp corners, giving many glyphs an octagonal, plotted look. Strokes are uniform and appear as an outlined/wireframe construction rather than a filled weight, with frequent chamfered joins and clipped terminals. Proportions are compact and tall, with tight internal counters and a distinctly engineered rhythm; bowls and curves are largely replaced by faceted angles. Numerals and capitals share the same hard-edged geometry, creating a consistent, technical texture across lines of text.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its angular wireframe character can be appreciated—headlines, posters, tech or sci‑fi branding, and interface labels in games or HUD-style layouts. It can also work for logotypes or titling where a schematic, engineered voice is desired, but its faceted construction may feel busy for long reading passages.
The overall tone is cool and mechanical, evoking technical drafting, cockpit instrumentation, and retro-futurist graphics. Its angled stance and faceted forms read as fast, precise, and purpose-built rather than casual or decorative.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, plotted aesthetic into a readable alphabet—prioritizing a cohesive technical style through straight strokes, chamfered corners, and a consistent forward slant. It aims to deliver a distinctive sci‑tech voice while keeping letterforms recognizable through simplified, modular construction.
Diagonal strokes and corner notches are used to suggest curvature, which makes the design feel modular and constructed. The most distinctive identity comes through in the squared counters, clipped shoulders, and the way horizontals and diagonals meet with sharp, deliberate angles, producing a crisp but high-attention texture at text sizes.
