A hairline, monoline slab serif with a strongly geometric construction. Curves are largely replaced by chamfered, multi-sided forms—especially in rounds like C, G, O, and Q—creating an octagonal rhythm throughout. Serifs are unbracketed and square, with crisp joins and mostly uniform stroke weight; terminals and corners feel cut with a rule-and-knife precision rather than drawn. Proportions are relatively tall with open counters, and the figures follow the same faceted logic, giving the set a consistent, engineered texture in text.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a crisp, engineered voice is desired. It can work for editorial display and packaging that benefits from a refined, geometric texture, and it’s particularly effective for titles or labels that want an architectural or technical cue.
The overall tone is precise and slightly austere, evoking drafting, engraving, and schematic labeling. Its faceted rounds and needle-thin strokes lend a refined, minimalist feel that reads as technical and architectural rather than warm or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to merge classic slab-serif structure with a rigorously geometric, chamfered drawing style. By translating round forms into faceted shapes while keeping strokes monoline and serifs square, it aims to deliver a distinctive display texture that feels precise and constructed.
The chamfered geometry becomes most apparent at larger sizes, where the polygonal bowls and clipped corners create a distinctive sparkle. At smaller sizes the extremely light strokes may become delicate, so the design’s character is best appreciated when given enough scale and contrast.
