A monolinear sans with curves replaced by crisp chamfers, producing octagonal counters and faceted joins throughout. Strokes stay even and straight, with diagonal segments used to turn corners rather than true arcs. Proportions are clean and functional, with open apertures and simple, sturdy construction; round letters (C, G, O, Q) read as polygonal forms, while diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y are sharp and consistent. Figures follow the same faceted logic, with an especially angular 0 and stepped joins in 2, 3, 5, and 9.
Well suited to display and short-to-medium text where a technical, engineered voice is desired—such as product branding, packaging, posters, wayfinding, and interface labels. The faceted forms also work nicely for headings and identifiers where you want a geometric, instrument-panel feel without heavy stylization.
The overall tone is engineered and machine-like, suggesting signage, instruments, and systematic labeling. Its faceted geometry adds a retro-futurist edge while remaining straightforward and readable, giving text a crisp, technical rhythm.
The design appears intended to translate a neutral sans into a faceted, chamfered system, replacing curves with planar turns to evoke manufactured precision. It aims for a consistent geometric vocabulary across the full alphanumeric set, balancing characterful angularity with practical legibility.
At text sizes, the repeated chamfers create a distinctive sparkle along curves and terminals, helping the design feel cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase remains simple and workmanlike, maintaining the same straight-edged turning behavior and avoiding decorative modulation.
