A geometric, faceted sans with monoline strokes and consistent chamfered corners that replace most curves with short, planar segments. The glyphs are compact and somewhat condensed, with open counters and a steady rhythm that reads cleanly at display sizes. Rounded terminals are avoided in favor of clipped ends and angled joins; bowls and diagonals resolve into octagonal-like outlines (notably in O/0, C, G, and S). Lowercase forms stay simple and upright, with single-storey a and g, a narrow, straight-backed r, and tall, minimal i/j with small dot accents.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding, and logo work where the faceted geometry can be clearly seen. It also fits packaging, tech-themed graphics, and short UI labels where a crisp, constructed look is desired.
The sharp facets and engineered geometry give the typeface a technical, sci‑fi tone with a subtle retro digital flavor. Its clipped corners and modular construction feel utilitarian and schematic, suggesting machinery, signage, and interface aesthetics rather than warmth or calligraphy.
The design appears intended to translate a clean sans skeleton into an angular, cut-corner system, creating a distinctive display voice while keeping letterforms straightforward and legible. Its consistent faceting and monoline construction suggest a focus on reproducible, modular shapes for strong graphic presence.
Numerals echo the same faceted logic, with 0 as a tall octagonal ring and 8 built from stacked angular bowls. The overall texture is even and orderly, while the faceting adds a distinctive sparkle in headings and short lines of text.
