A sharply faceted, polygonal sans with consistent monoline strokes and a pronounced forward slant. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments and clipped corners, producing octagonal counters in round letters and crisp joins throughout. Proportions run compact and economical, with tall, slightly condensed capitals and a streamlined lowercase that keeps bowls and terminals angular. Numerals follow the same planar construction, with open, geometric forms and deliberate corner cuts that maintain a steady rhythm across text.
Best suited to display settings where its faceted construction can read clearly—headlines, posters, title cards, packaging accents, and branding marks. It can work for short UI labels or technical-themed graphics when used with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone feels technical and futuristic, with an edgy, machined character reminiscent of cut metal or folded planes. Its angularity lends a sense of speed and precision, while the uniform stroke keeps it clean and controlled rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, planar aesthetic into a practical sans, emphasizing a consistent angular construction across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. It prioritizes a cohesive, futuristic texture and a sense of forward motion over neutral text invisibility.
Diagonal strokes and corner facets drive the texture more than curves, creating a distinctive zig-zag sparkle in longer lines. The slant and compact width increase momentum, but the faceting can become visually busy at very small sizes or in dense paragraphs.
