A sharp, faceted sans built from straight strokes and angled joins, with curves consistently replaced by planar facets and chamfered corners. The monoline skeleton and open, airy spacing give it a crisp, schematic texture, while many counters and bowls resolve into diamond-like shapes (notably in O/o and several numerals). Proportions skew broad with generous internal space, and the rhythm is slightly irregular due to the deliberately custom, polygonal construction of diagonals and terminals.
Best suited for display applications where its faceted construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, title cards, logos, and short branding phrases. It can also work for thematic UI labels or product packaging when used at larger sizes with comfortable tracking.
The overall tone feels futuristic and engineered, evoking signage, interfaces, and sci‑fi or game-world lettering. Its angular geometry also adds a cryptic, emblematic flavor that can read as techno, dystopian, or “artifact” themed depending on context.
The design appears intended to translate a clean sans structure into an angular, planar system, prioritizing a distinctive geometric voice over neutral text ergonomics. It aims to feel modern and constructed, with a consistent facet logic that turns familiar letterforms into sharp, emblem-like shapes.
Distinctive diagonals and pointed apexes create a lively zig-zag cadence in words, especially around V/W/X/Y and the faceted S. Small sizes may reduce clarity where strokes meet at tight angles, but at display sizes the crystalline counters and cut terminals become the main character.
