A faceted sans with straight strokes and chamfered corners that replace curves with short planar cuts, producing octagonal bowls and polygonal counters. The construction is monolinear and crisp, with a slight backward lean and mostly squared terminals that emphasize a technical, engineered feel. Proportions read compact and utilitarian in capitals, while the lowercase shows a tall, narrow rhythm with simplified forms and minimal modulation. Numerals echo the same clipped geometry, keeping apertures and corners consistent across the set.
Best suited to display typography where the faceted details can be appreciated: headlines, posters, event graphics, tech branding, and product or interface labeling. It can also work for short signage and titling systems that want a consistent, engineered aesthetic, but is less ideal for long-form reading due to the dense, angular texture.
The overall tone is futuristic and industrial, like labeling on equipment, sci‑fi interfaces, or technical diagrams. Its sharp facets and controlled rhythm convey precision and an intentionally digital, machined character rather than warmth or softness.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a chiseled, planar language, prioritizing consistency of corner treatment and a technical silhouette. The slight reverse slant and clipped bowls suggest a goal of adding motion and a contemporary, sci‑fi edge while keeping the letterforms straightforward and functional.
At smaller sizes the repeated corner cuts can create a busy texture, while at display sizes the polygonal construction becomes a defining graphic feature. The backward slant adds motion and a slightly unconventional stance without turning into a true cursive style.
