Author's note

Gear font by Jin Hashiba is a free techno outline typeface that looks like it was lifted straight from an engineer’s sketchbook. Each letter sits in a precise grid, drawn with clean, mechanical curves and straight lines that feel both industrial and futuristic. The open, wireframe structure lets background color and texture show through, so text feels more like a piece of graphic circuitry than ordinary lettering.

Using Gear, your titles snap into place on sci‑fi posters, rave or techno flyers, electronic product branding, interface mockups, zine covers, and motion graphics. This free font loves generous tracking and big sizes, where its blueprint-like construction can breathe. For supporting copy, pair Gear with a simple geometric sans to keep the spotlight on its intricate, technical outline forms.
