A spare, monoline sans with tall proportions and tight sidebearings, drawn with straight segments that often substitute for full curves. Strokes are consistently thin and even, with crisp joins and a generally geometric construction. Round letters and figures read as lightly polygonal or chamfered, while verticals stay firm and straight, producing a clean, high-contrast silhouette against the page despite the delicate weight.
Works well where a light, refined voice is desired—captions, interface labels, and small blocks of display text benefit from its clean geometry and narrow footprint. In posters, branding, and editorial headings, the faceted curves add distinctive texture while keeping the overall feel minimal and modern.
The overall tone feels cool and precise, with an understated, contemporary character. Its faceted rounding and restrained stroke work suggest a technical, engineered sensibility rather than a warm or expressive one, giving text a light, airy calm.
Likely designed to provide a pared-back sans with a crisp, planar construction, offering a subtle alternative to fully rounded geometrics. The aim appears to be efficient, contemporary readability with a hint of angular character for distinctive display use.
Counters are open and uncomplicated, and terminals tend toward simple, blunt endings. The rhythm is compact and vertical, and the faceting introduces subtle texture in longer text without becoming decorative.
