A geometric, faceted sans built from very thin, uniform strokes and straight segments that replace curves with crisp planar cuts. Bowls and rounds resolve into octagonal forms, with consistent corner angles across letters and numerals. Proportions skew spacious horizontally, and the rhythm stays airy due to the light stroke and open counters; terminals are clean and unadorned. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation from caps while keeping the same angular construction, and the figures echo the same chamfered geometry for a cohesive set.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and short display lines where the angular, cut-corner geometry is a feature. It also works well for interface labels, diagrams, and wayfinding-style signage that benefits from a clean, technical voice—especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels technical and engineered, like labeling on instruments or a futuristic interface. Its faceted construction reads as modern and synthetic, conveying precision and cool detachment rather than warmth or calligraphic personality.
The design appears intended to translate a polygonal, chamfered industrial aesthetic into a clean sans alphabet. By systematically substituting curves with facets and keeping strokes uniform, it aims for a cohesive, modern display face that signals technology and precision.
The repeated chamfer motif creates strong stylistic unity, but the ultra-thin line and sharp joints make the design most convincing at larger sizes where the facets can be appreciated. In running text the outlines produce a distinctive, slightly “wireframe” texture that emphasizes form over softness.
