A crisp, geometric sans built from straight strokes with clipped, chamfered corners that replace curves with small planar facets. The drawing is monoline and open, with a narrow, airy color and generous interior counters. Terminals tend to end in clean cuts and consistent angles, creating an octagonal rhythm across rounds (O, C, G, 0, 8) and a slightly engineered feel in joints and diagonals. Proportions are compact but not condensed, with tidy apertures and simplified forms that keep the texture even in running text.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its angular personality can be appreciated—interface labels, product graphics, tech branding, posters, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for captions or data readouts when a clean, engineered aesthetic is desired, especially at sizes where the faceting remains distinct.
The faceted construction reads as technical and contemporary, like lettering designed for interfaces, instruments, or fabricated signage. Its sharp geometry suggests precision and efficiency rather than warmth, giving text a futuristic, architectural tone.
The design appears intended to translate a neutral sans skeleton into a consistently faceted, polygonal language—swapping curves for controlled chamfers to evoke precision and modern fabrication while keeping letterforms straightforward and readable.
Round-based glyphs maintain a consistent corner radius via repeated chamfers, helping the alphabet feel systematized. The figures follow the same angular logic, producing a coherent alphanumeric set that stays legible while emphasizing a constructed, polygonal silhouette.
