A geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing many curves with short planar facets. Forms tend toward squared bowls and rectangular counters, with consistent stroke thickness and clean, open apertures. Terminals are typically flat or diagonally chamfered, creating a crisp, modular rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The overall texture is even and legible, with compact joins and a slightly engineered, grid-minded construction.
Well suited to interface typography, product labeling, and tech-forward branding where crisp shapes and a constructed feel reinforce a modern system aesthetic. It also performs strongly in headlines, posters, and packaging that benefit from a structured, industrial voice without sacrificing basic readability in short paragraphs.
The faceted geometry gives the face a technical, futuristic tone while still reading as practical and controlled. Its sharp edges and squared rounds evoke industrial labeling, digital interfaces, and retro electronic styling rather than soft or humanist warmth.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans skeleton into a faceted, machined look by systematically chamfering corners and squaring curves. The goal is a distinctive, technology-leaning personality that remains orderly and usable across a broad set of alphanumerics.
Distinctive chamfers appear at key stress points (corners, diagonals, and curved-to-straight transitions), producing a consistent “cut” motif throughout. Numerals and capitals share a sturdy, signage-like presence, and the lowercase keeps a straightforward, functional silhouette that holds up well in continuous text at display-to-text sizes.
