A monoline, sharply faceted sans with polygonal construction in place of curves. Strokes are extremely thin and consistent, with crisp corners and small planar breaks that create a chiseled outline feel even in rounded forms like O, C, and S. The overall stance is slightly right-slanted, with open apertures and simplified terminals that keep counters clear at larger sizes. Proportions vary by letter (notably in diagonals and bowls), giving the set an irregular, hand-assembled rhythm while maintaining a coherent geometric logic.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, titles, and brand marks where the faceted construction can be appreciated. It can also work for short UI labels or technical/creative graphics when used at sufficient size and with generous spacing, but it is likely to feel too delicate and restless for dense body copy.
The faceted geometry reads as modern and experimental, with a lightweight, airy presence that feels technical and schematic. Its angularity adds a subtle sci‑fi and origami-like character, while the slight irregularities introduce a quirky, DIY energy rather than strict industrial neutrality.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, polygonal drawing language into an italicized sans alphabet—prioritizing sharp planar facets, lightness, and a distinctive silhouette over smooth curves and conventional text regularity.
The thin stroke and cornered joins emphasize outline structure over mass, so the texture is sparse and high in white space. Numerals echo the same planar approach, with straight segments and clipped angles that keep the set stylistically unified. In longer text, the slant and jagged modulation of facets create a lively cadence that is more expressive than conventional sans text faces.
