A geometric, monoline sans built from straight segments with consistent chamfered corners, replacing curves with faceted, near-octagonal turns. Strokes keep an even thickness throughout, with rounded terminals kept to a minimum and most joins handled as crisp bevels. The proportions are clean and compact, with open counters and clear internal spacing that preserves legibility despite the polygonal construction. Numerals and caps follow the same faceted logic (notably the octagonal 0/8/9 forms), creating a highly uniform rhythm across the set.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a technical voice is desired: UI labels, dashboards, product labeling, wayfinding, and bold informational graphics. It can also work effectively in posters and titles that benefit from a geometric, futuristic edge, and in code/editor contexts where consistent character rhythm is important.
The sharp, planar geometry gives the face a technical, engineered tone—evoking instrument panels, digital hardware, and industrial labeling. Its controlled repetition and bevelled angles also add a subtle sci‑fi/space-station flavor, while still feeling practical and no-nonsense rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to translate a utilitarian sans into a faceted, hardware-like construction system, prioritizing consistency and clarity while making the chamfered geometry the primary visual motif. The goal reads as a modern, technical display that remains serviceable for functional text.
Diagonal strokes are restrained and often simplified into angled joints, which emphasizes a grid-based, constructed feel. Letterforms maintain generous apertures and straightforward silhouettes, helping the design stay readable even as the faceting becomes a dominant stylistic signature.
