A monoline, geometric sans with a distinctly squared construction and crisp, right-angled turns. Curves are largely replaced by chamfered or rectangular bowls, producing boxy counters in letters like O, Q, and D and a consistently angular rhythm across the set. Terminals are flat and abrupt, and many forms rely on straight verticals and horizontals, giving the face a modular, engineered feel. The lowercase follows the same rectilinear logic as the caps, with single-storey forms and compact, rectified apertures that keep the texture tight and even in running text.
This font works best where a precise, technical voice is desired: short headlines, display typography, branding marks, packaging callouts, and on-screen labels. It can also suit signage and wayfinding where angular, high-structure letterforms help establish a strong, engineered identity.
The overall tone feels technical and purposeful, like labeling on equipment or a UI drawn on a grid. Its sharp corners and squared bowls add a retro-digital flavor that reads as schematic, mechanical, and slightly futuristic without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to translate sans-serif fundamentals into a strict rectilinear system, emphasizing grid-built geometry, uniform stroke behavior, and a cohesive alphanumeric set. The goal seems to be a clear, modern-industrial tone with a retro digital edge, optimized for distinctive display and labeling contexts.
Several diagonals appear as clean, straight strokes (notably in V, W, X, and Y), which contrasts with the predominantly orthogonal structure and heightens the constructed, sign-like character. Numerals mirror the same boxy geometry, reinforcing a consistent system across alphanumerics.
