A geometric sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing most curves with planar facets. Counters and bowls often resolve into octagonal or clipped forms (notably in O, G, C, and the round numerals), creating a consistent polygonal rhythm across the set. Strokes read largely monolinear with hard terminals and a clean, upright construction; diagonals are sharp and decisive, and joins stay tight and mechanical. Spacing appears even and contemporary, with compact, engineered letterforms that maintain clarity in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and titling where the faceted construction can carry a strong identity. It also fits product graphics, sports or tech packaging, and signage/wayfinding systems that benefit from crisp, high-contrast silhouettes and consistent alphanumeric styling.
The overall tone feels technical and machine-made—precise, sturdy, and purpose-driven. Its faceted geometry suggests sci‑fi interfaces, industrial labeling, and competitive or performance-oriented branding rather than warmth or softness.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a geometric, polygonal visual system into a practical sans for contemporary use. By systematically chamfering corners and simplifying curves into facets, it aims to look modern and engineered while staying versatile for mixed-case text and numerals.
The design leans on repeated chamfers as a unifying motif, giving many glyphs a “cut-metal” silhouette. Numerals echo the same clipped geometry, helping mixed alphanumeric settings look cohesive. In text, the angular counters add distinctive texture while remaining legible at display and short-to-medium reading sizes.
