A monolinear, geometric sans built from straight segments with chamfered corners, replacing curves with small planar facets. Strokes are consistently thin and even, creating a wireframe look with open joins and occasional intentional gaps at corners. Proportions are compact with a relatively short x-height, and counters often read as octagonal or polygonal shapes (notably in O/C/G and the numerals). Terminals are square and unbracketed, diagonals are sharp and clean, and the overall rhythm is evenly spaced with a distinctly mechanical, grid-friendly structure.
Best suited to display settings where its faceted geometry and hairline strokes can be appreciated: titles, sci‑fi or tech-oriented branding, interface labels, motion graphics, and packaging accents. It can work for short text and captions when set at sufficient size and with generous spacing, but it reads most clearly when not forced into dense paragraphs.
The faceted construction and hairline strokes give the font a cool, engineered tone—more like plotted lettering or a technical display than everyday text. It feels futuristic and schematic, with a restrained, minimalist presence that reads as precise and deliberately artificial.
The letterforms suggest an intention to translate a geometric, chamfered construction into a clean sans system—evoking plotted, architectural, or vector-drawn signage while staying orderly and legible. The design prioritizes a consistent facet vocabulary across the set to produce a distinctive, modern display voice.
Round forms (O, 0, 8, 9) are rendered as multi-sided polygons, while letters like S and G use angled turns that emphasize the faceted concept. The design maintains strong stylistic consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with small details such as the dotted i/j and angular bowls in b/p/q reinforcing the same planar logic.
