A faceted sans built from straight strokes with clipped, chamfered corners that replace curves with planar edges. The construction is monoline and crisply segmented, giving bowls and rounds an octagonal feel (notably in C, O, Q, and numerals like 0/8/9). Proportions are vertical and compact, with a clean rhythm and minimal stroke modulation; joins and terminals are consistently cut flat or at sharp angles. Counters stay fairly open for the style, while the overall texture remains lean and orderly in text.
Best suited to headlines, short UI labels, packaging, and signage where the faceted geometry can be appreciated at medium to large sizes. In longer passages it maintains a consistent, tidy texture, but the distinctive corner-cut forms make it especially effective for titles, interface-like layouts, and technical or industrial branding.
The sharp geometry and corner-cut detailing give the font a technical, engineered tone—evoking digital instrumentation, sci‑fi interfaces, and modern industrial labeling. Its calm, measured rhythm reads as controlled and functional rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans skeleton into a chiseled, planar system, prioritizing consistent angles and clipped corners to create a machine-made, futuristic voice while staying legible and orderly.
Diagonal letters (K, V, W, X, Y) keep tight angles and straight-sided forms, reinforcing the faceted theme. Numerals are similarly angular, with squared-off turns and a segmented look that feels compatible with display signage and UI motifs.
