A clean, geometric outline typeface built from a single, even contour with open interiors. Letterforms favor squared construction with softened, rounded corners, creating a boxy silhouette that stays crisp and controlled. Curves on C, G, O, and S are drawn as rounded-rectangle arcs, while diagonals on A, K, V, W, X, Y, and Z remain straight and firmly anchored. Spacing and proportions read orderly and utilitarian, with compact counters and consistent stroke behavior across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display applications where the outline effect can read clearly: posters, titles, packaging callouts, and large-format signage. It also works as a secondary accent face for UI labels, diagrams, or technical branding when set at sufficiently large sizes and with ample contrast against the background.
The overall tone feels technical and architectural, like signage drafting or interface labeling. Its hollow construction adds a light, modern edge, while the squared geometry gives it a subtle retro-industrial flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a crisp, engineered outline look with consistent geometry and easy-to-spot silhouettes. Its restrained detailing and squared curves suggest a focus on clarity, repeatable shapes, and a contemporary industrial voice.
In text, the outline-only drawing emphasizes negative space and can visually thin out at small sizes, while staying striking at larger display sizes. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, with single-storey forms and minimal flourish, reinforcing the font’s functional, schematic character.
