A condensed, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with short planar facets. Strokes are even and low in contrast, with squared terminals and a consistent, engineered rhythm. Counters are compact and often octagonal, and joints favor sharp, chamfered transitions. The lowercase mixes simple geometric bowls with tall, narrow stems; apertures stay fairly tight, giving text a dense, efficient texture. Numerals and capitals share the same faceted construction, producing a cohesive, modular silhouette.
Well suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and posters where its faceted geometry can read clearly and add character. It also fits wayfinding or labeling systems that want a technical, industrial flavor. In longer text, it works best at comfortable sizes and spacing where the condensed forms and tight counters remain distinct.
The overall tone is technical and industrial, evoking machine labeling, sports equipment, and sci‑fi interfaces. Its sharp chamfers and compressed proportions feel purposeful and modern rather than friendly or calligraphic, projecting a sense of precision and ruggedness.
The design appears intended to translate the look of chamfered metal or cut vinyl into a clean sans alphabet, prioritizing geometric consistency and a compact footprint. By systematically substituting curves with facets, it delivers a distinctive, mechanical identity while staying legible and straightforward.
The faceting is especially evident in rounded forms (C, G, O, Q and 0–9), which read as octagonal shapes with consistent corner cuts. The type maintains clarity through uniform stroke weight, but the tight internal spaces and condensed width create a strong, assertive presence that becomes more striking at display sizes.
