A crisp, geometric sans built from straight strokes and sharp corners, replacing curves with planar, faceted angles. The construction is predominantly rectilinear with squared bowls and open, cut-in apertures; many forms feel like they’re drawn on a grid, with consistent stroke weight and clean joins. Proportions are on the spacious side with generous horizontal footprint and open internal space, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) keep a taut, linear tension. Numerals and lowercase echo the same modular logic, mixing rounded-rectangle outlines with simplified, sign-like segments.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its angular, faceted construction can read clearly: interface labels, product/UI mockups, technology branding, game or film titling, posters, and environmental/wayfinding-style graphics. It can also work for small blocks of supporting copy when set with ample size and spacing to preserve the open, segmented shapes.
The overall tone is cool, engineered, and futuristic—evoking interface graphics, instrumentation, and sci‑fi titling. Its sharp geometry and simplified curves read as contemporary and digital, with a lightly skeletal presence that feels precise rather than expressive.
The letterforms appear intended to translate a grid-based, engineered aesthetic into a clean sans voice, prioritizing sharp geometry, consistent linear construction, and a distinctive sci‑fi flavor over traditional text typography conventions.
The design leans on squared counters and partially open forms (notably in C, G, S, and several lowercase), which enhances a technical feel but also makes the rhythm more display-oriented than text-centric. The lowercase set maintains a consistent modular identity, with single-storey constructions and compact, angular terminals that keep the texture uniform across mixed-case settings.
