A sharply geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing most curves with planar facets. The outlines keep a consistent, hairline-like monoline weight and form open, polygonal counters—most evident in rounded letters and numerals, which read as octagonal or chamfered shapes. Proportions feel horizontally generous with clean, squared terminals and minimal modulation, while joins and diagonals stay crisp and deliberate for a precise, constructed rhythm in text.
Best suited for display settings where its angular detailing can be appreciated: tech-forward branding, sci‑fi or gaming titles, posters, and packaging accents. It can also work for UI labels or interface-style graphics in larger sizes, where the thin strokes remain legible and the geometric rhythm supports a clean, modern system.
The faceted construction gives the face a contemporary, engineered tone—cool, controlled, and slightly sci‑fi. Its thin, angular presence suggests instrumentation and digital interfaces rather than warmth or nostalgia, projecting clarity and precision.
The design appears intended to translate a neutral sans skeleton into a faceted, polygonal aesthetic, emphasizing engineered construction and a crisp, modern silhouette. By maintaining consistent stroke weight and systematically chamfering corners, it aims to deliver a distinctive tech-oriented voice while staying structurally straightforward for setting words and short lines.
Lowercase forms follow the same chamfered logic, with single-storey a and g and simplified bowls that prioritize geometry over calligraphic detail. Numerals also adopt the clipped-corner language (notably 0, 6, 8, and 9), reinforcing a cohesive techno set. At small sizes the very light strokes may reduce presence, while at larger sizes the distinctive facets become a key visual feature.
