A monoline, geometric sans built from straight segments and sharp joins, replacing most curves with faceted, diamond-like constructions. Strokes are consistently thin and even, with open counters and a slightly irregular rhythm created by pointed terminals and asymmetric joins. The uppercase set reads as tall and skeletal, while the lowercase echoes the same polygonal logic, often using lozenges for bowls and angled shoulders. Numerals follow the same wireframe approach, mixing simple diagonals with occasional enclosed diamond forms for figures like 8 and 9.
Best suited to headlines, short phrases, and identity marks where its faceted geometry can be appreciated at comfortable sizes. It works well for sci‑fi themed titles, tech branding, event posters, album/film titling, and packaging accents, especially when paired with a simpler companion for body copy.
The overall tone feels futuristic and schematic, like lettering drawn with a technical pen and then “cut” into crystalline facets. Its sharp geometry and sparse stroke presence give it a cool, cryptic character that leans more display than text, suggesting tech, sci‑fi, or avant‑garde aesthetics.
The design appears intended to translate a minimalist sans skeleton into a crystalline, planar vocabulary—prioritizing a distinctive angular silhouette and a crafted, constructed feel over conventional readability at small sizes.
Distinctive diamond bowls and pointed vertices create a strong signature at larger sizes, but the extremely fine strokes and frequent acute angles can reduce clarity in dense settings. The sample text shows a clean baseline and consistent spacing, with standout forms in letters like S, G, and the lozenge-based O that emphasize the faceted construction.
