A monoline, angular sans with squared bowls and planar, faceted corners that replace most curves with short straight segments. Strokes look slightly irregular, giving a hand-drawn, marker-on-paper texture while maintaining consistent overall construction. Proportions are compact and generally narrow-to-moderate, with generous interior space in letters like O, D, and P and a straightforward, geometric rhythm. The lowercase shows a simple, upright structure with a single-storey a and g, a short cross on t, and minimal modulation; numerals follow the same boxy, straight-edged logic.
Best suited for display settings where its angular construction and handmade texture can be appreciated—posters, headings, packaging, and short emphatic lines. It can also work for labels or UI-style graphic elements that benefit from a technical, boxy feel, but extended body text may feel busy due to the irregular stroke texture.
The font reads as technical and schematic, but with an intentionally imperfect, DIY personality. Its faceted geometry suggests retro-digital or instrument labeling, while the uneven stroke edges add a casual, human tone that keeps it from feeling sterile.
The design appears intended to merge geometric, faceted construction with a hand-rendered finish—evoking a drafted or retro-digital look without becoming mechanically rigid. It prioritizes distinctive texture and angular character over smooth curves and conventional neutrality.
Letterforms are built from clear verticals and horizontals with frequent right angles and clipped joins; diagonals appear sparingly and feel deliberately segmented. The overall texture is slightly jittery, which becomes more noticeable at text sizes and contributes to its distinctive, handmade rhythm.
