A faceted, monolinear sans with crisp, chamfered corners that replace curves with short planar segments, giving many bowls and rounds an octagonal feel. Strokes stay even and straight, with a compact, vertically oriented build and tight interior counters that keep the texture firm and controlled. Terminals are clean and squared, and joins read as engineered rather than calligraphic, producing a consistent, modular rhythm across letters and figures.
Best suited for display typography where the faceted geometry can read clearly—headlines, posters, logotypes, product names, and packaging. It also fits UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding-style graphics when a technical, engineered look is desired, while longer paragraphs may feel visually insistent due to the tightly constructed shapes.
The overall tone feels technical and industrial, with a retro-futurist edge reminiscent of labeling, instruments, and early digital aesthetics. Its sharp geometry and clipped curves project precision, efficiency, and a slightly mechanical coolness.
The design appears intended to translate a clean sans structure into a hard-edged, faceted system, prioritizing geometric consistency and a machine-made impression. By systematically chamfering curves and keeping strokes even, it aims to deliver a distinctive technical voice without resorting to ornament.
The faceting is applied systematically to both uppercase and lowercase, so round letters (like O/C/G and e/c) retain their identity while still conforming to the angular construction. Numerals follow the same chamfered logic, reinforcing a cohesive, schematic voice in mixed alphanumeric settings.
