A monolinear, geometric sans built from straight strokes and right angles, with a distinctly square, modular construction. Many counters and bowls are rendered as open or boxy forms, giving letters an outline-like, architectural feel rather than fully closed curves. Terminals are predominantly blunt, corners are crisp, and diagonals appear selectively (notably in forms like A, V, W, X, Y, Z), creating a disciplined rhythm. Spacing and glyph widths vary by character, and the overall texture stays airy due to the thin stroke and frequent use of open joins.
Best suited for headlines, short UI labels, titles, and branding where its geometric construction can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can work for tech or sci-fi themed packaging and editorial display, but the open, modular letterforms may reduce clarity in long passages or at very small sizes.
The font reads as futuristic and technical, with a schematic, digital-signage personality. Its strict geometry and open, constructed forms suggest precision and engineered design rather than warmth or informality.
The design intention appears to be a constructed, grid-driven sans that prioritizes a futuristic, engineered look through squared geometry and minimal stroke vocabulary. By using open counters and simplified structure, it aims to deliver a distinctive display voice that feels modern and systematized.
Several glyphs intentionally break conventional closure (for example, E/C/S-like forms and some bowls), which increases uniqueness but also makes the design feel more display-oriented. The all-caps and lowercase share the same squared, constructed logic, maintaining consistency across the set and producing a distinctive, grid-based voice in running text.
