A geometric outline sans with monoline contours and open counters throughout. The letterforms lean on simple, constructed shapes—round bowls, straight stems, and crisp diagonals—with gently rounded corners that keep the outlines from feeling brittle. Curves are smooth and near-circular (notably in O/C/G/Q and the numerals), while strokes maintain consistent thickness and spacing, giving the set a clean, schematic rhythm. Overall proportions are balanced and straightforward, with clear joins and uncluttered terminals that preserve legibility despite the hollow construction.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and signage where the outline effect can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also works well for packaging, tech-themed graphics, and UI/wayfinding accents when paired with a solid text face for body copy.
The font communicates a contemporary, engineered tone—light, precise, and slightly futuristic. Its outline-only build reads as airy and display-forward, evoking signage, drafting, and interface graphics more than traditional text typography. The overall feel is neutral and disciplined, with a modern minimalism that can also suggest retro-tech styling when enlarged.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, geometric outline alternative to a neutral sans—delivering a lightweight, architectural look for modern display typography while keeping forms simple and broadly readable.
In the sample text, the outlines remain even and consistent across sizes, and the generous inner whitespace helps counters stay open. Because the design relies on contour clarity rather than filled strokes, it visually lightens pages and benefits from sufficient size or contrast in application.
