A crisp, monoline sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with consistent chamfers. Bowls and counters tend toward octagonal shapes, giving rounds like O, C, and G a faceted, engineered feel. Proportions are clean and fairly open, with simplified joins and a measured rhythm that stays even across caps, lowercase, and numerals; diagonals in V/W/X/Y are sharp and stable, while horizontals and verticals keep a firm, rectilinear skeleton.
Best suited to short-form settings where its angular voice can be a feature: interface labels, control panels, product/tech branding, posters, and wayfinding-style signage. It can work for larger text blocks when a cool, engineered aesthetic is desired, but it will read most distinctive at display sizes.
The faceted construction conveys a technical, futuristic tone—more like industrial labeling or sci‑fi interface typography than humanist text. Its sharp geometry feels precise and machine-made, with a slightly retro-digital edge.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, chamfered construction into a highly consistent alphabet, prioritizing crisp edges, modular repetition, and a technical silhouette. It aims for a modern industrial/sci‑fi flavor while keeping letterforms straightforward and legible.
Lowercase forms echo the same chamfer logic as the caps, producing a cohesive system; rounded letters (a, e, o, g) read as polygonal while maintaining clear counters. Numerals are similarly angular, with an especially geometric 0 and a segmented, structured feel across 2, 3, 5, and 8. The overall impression is clean and schematic rather than calligraphic.
