This typeface is built from straight, monoline strokes with chamfered corners that turn bowls and curves into faceted, near-octagonal forms. Capitals are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with open counters and crisp terminals, while the lowercase follows a compact, engineering-like construction with simplified joins and minimal modulation. Rounds like C, G, O, Q and numerals such as 0, 6, 8, 9 read as planar polygons rather than true curves, creating a consistent, hard-edged rhythm across the set. Diacritics are not shown; punctuation in the sample is simple and unobtrusive, letting the angular letterforms carry the voice.
Well-suited for UI labels, dashboards, and interface-style graphics where a crisp, technical texture is desirable. It also works effectively for technology branding, product packaging, and signage systems that benefit from a controlled, geometric voice. For display use—posters, headers, and short statements—the faceted rounds provide a recognizable silhouette without relying on decorative ornament.
The overall tone is modern and technical, evoking instrumentation, CAD labeling, and sci‑fi interface typography. Its faceted geometry communicates precision and efficiency, with a slightly retro-digital flavor that feels at home in engineered or machine-adjacent contexts.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, chamfer-corner aesthetic, prioritizing clean construction and a machine-made impression. By replacing curves with planar segments, it aims to deliver a distinctive technical identity while remaining legible in mixed-case text.
Angular joins are used as a unifying motif, and the faceting is applied consistently across both letters and figures, which helps maintain cohesion in mixed-case text and number-heavy settings. In longer passages, the repeated chamfers create a distinct texture that is sharper and more mechanical than a typical geometric sans.
