A geometric sans with faceted, planar construction that replaces many curves with short straight segments, producing an octagonal feel in bowls and terminals. Strokes are consistently thin and even, with a clean, engineered rhythm and generous inner counters. Corners are subtly softened rather than sharp, and joins stay crisp, giving forms like O/C/G and the numerals a technical, constructed outline. Proportions read slightly expanded, and the overall spacing feels open and orderly, supporting clear word shapes in continuous text.
Well suited to interface typography, dashboards, and wayfinding where clean geometry and open counters aid quick recognition. The distinctive faceted bowls also make it effective for short headlines, branding, packaging, and tech-oriented posters when you want a modern constructed look without heavy weight.
The faceted geometry and even stroke weight give the typeface a contemporary, technology-forward tone. It feels measured and systematic—more architectural than expressive—while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than harsh. The result suggests digital interfaces, modern signage, and product aesthetics where precision and clarity are part of the message.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, engineered vocabulary, emphasizing constructed forms and repeatable angles for a modern, systematized aesthetic. It balances a distinctive outline treatment with straightforward letterforms to remain readable in both display and practical settings.
Distinctive faceting is most noticeable in rounded letters and numerals, where curves resolve into multiple short segments rather than smooth arcs. The design maintains consistent visual logic between uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed-case settings look cohesive and intentional.
