A condensed, monoline sans with a distinctly faceted construction: bowls and curves are replaced by short straight segments and clipped corners, giving many glyphs an octagonal, planar feel. Strokes maintain even thickness with crisp terminals and minimal modulation, producing a clean, schematic rhythm. Counters are narrow and vertical, with tight apertures and a generally tall, columnar proportion across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Diagonals are sharp and controlled (notably in A, V, W, X, Y), while rounded forms like O, C, and G read as multi-sided outlines rather than true curves.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed width and faceted geometry can read as a deliberate stylistic choice—headlines, posters, logos, and packaging with a technical or futuristic theme. It can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding-style signage where space is tight, though the narrow apertures suggest avoiding very small sizes for extended passages.
The overall tone feels engineered and modern, suggesting precision and restraint rather than warmth. Its angular geometry evokes digital displays, technical drafting, and contemporary sci‑fi or industrial aesthetics, with a slightly retro-computing edge due to the straight-segment “rounded” forms.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a condensed sans through a hard-edged, polygonal lens, prioritizing a consistent planar geometry and compact footprint. It aims to deliver a modern, engineered voice while maintaining straightforward letterforms for recognizable, utilitarian readability.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent narrow skeleton, and the lowercase maintains clear differentiation (e.g., a single-storey-style forms and compact bowls) while staying aligned with the same faceted logic. Numerals follow the same clipped-corner approach, keeping a uniform, utilitarian texture in running text.
