A compact sans with monoline strokes and deliberately faceted construction: curves are frequently resolved into short, straight segments, creating a subtly polygonal rhythm in bowls and shoulders. Terminals are mostly flat and clean, counters stay open, and the overall drawing remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. Proportions are condensed with steady spacing, yielding a tidy texture in words; diagonals and joins (notably in V/W/X and the angled parts of K/Y) emphasize the font’s crisp, engineered feel.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a compact, clean voice is needed—UI/UX labels, navigation and wayfinding, technical documentation headings, and structured layouts. The distinctive faceting also works well for branding, packaging, and poster headlines that want a crisp, engineered character without feeling decorative.
The faceted geometry gives the type a technical, modernist tone with a slight retro-digital edge. It reads as purposeful and efficient rather than expressive, with an understated quirk coming from the planar “cut” curves.
The design appears intended to merge everyday sans readability with a controlled, polygonal construction that replaces smooth curves with planar facets. This creates a consistent, system-like look that feels contemporary and precise while remaining practical for general typographic use.
Uppercase forms keep a straightforward, geometric silhouette, while lowercase retains simple, legible shapes with single-storey constructions where shown (e.g., a and g). Numerals are plain and sturdy, matching the same angular logic, and punctuation in the sample maintains the same clean, minimal finish.
