A condensed, monoline sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing most curves with chamfered, faceted joints. The geometry reads slightly octagonal in bowls and rounded forms, with consistent stroke thickness and clean, open counters. Uppercase proportions are tall and compact, while the lowercase keeps a practical, readable structure with a two-storey “a” and single-storey forms where expected; terminals remain squared and sharply cut throughout. Numerals follow the same chamfered logic, giving the set a uniform, engineered rhythm.
Well-suited to space-tight settings such as signage, UI labels, data callouts, and technical or industrial packaging where compact line length is valuable. It also works effectively for headlines and short blocks of text when you want a crisp, engineered voice and a distinctive angular texture.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and technical, like labeling found on instruments, equipment panels, or architectural drawings. Its crisp angles and compact stance convey efficiency and a mildly futuristic, machine-made character without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, drafted look into a straightforward text-capable sans, using chamfered corners to suggest precision manufacturing. Its condensed build prioritizes efficient footprint and clear, repeatable forms for labeling and display use.
The faceting introduces a subtle texture at text sizes—corners and joins create a repeating pattern that becomes part of the typographic color. The condensed width and tight internal shapes emphasize verticality, making the face feel orderly and space-conscious.
