This typeface is built from straight strokes with consistent line weight and frequent chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp facets. Round forms like O, C, and G resolve into octagonal silhouettes, while joins are clean and mechanical, producing a segmented, engineered feel. Proportions are generally compact and efficient, with open counters and clear interior spaces; the lowercase follows the same faceted logic, with single-storey forms and squared terminals that keep the rhythm uniform across text.
Best suited to display settings where the faceted construction can read as a deliberate design feature—headlines, logos, packaging, and wayfinding. It also works well for short UI labels and dashboards where a technical tone and high-contrast, angular silhouettes help reinforce a system or product aesthetic.
The overall tone is technical and forward-looking, with a synthetic, machine-made character. Its sharp geometry and clipped curves suggest speed, equipment labeling, and contemporary digital interfaces rather than warmth or nostalgia.
The design appears intended to translate a sans structure into a planar, polygonal system that feels engineered and contemporary. By standardizing chamfers and straight segments across letters and numbers, it aims for a cohesive, modular look that remains readable while emphasizing a distinctive, hard-edged identity.
Distinctive notch-like cuts appear in letters such as S and C, and the numeral set continues the same angular construction for a cohesive alphanumeric system. In paragraphs, the repeated facets create a subtle shimmer along curves, giving lines of text a hard-edged, modern texture.
