A geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with small planar facets. The stroke is consistently thin and uniform, with crisp joins and a slightly modular construction that gives rounds (O, C, G, 0) an octagonal silhouette. Terminals are clean and open, counters are roomy, and proportions stay fairly compact, producing a tidy rhythm in continuous text. Numerals and capitals keep the same corner-cut logic, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered look.
This font works well for UI labeling, dashboards, and on-screen headings where a clean, geometric voice is desired. It’s also suitable for signage, posters, and technology-leaning branding that benefits from an angular, constructed aesthetic. In longer text, it performs best when set with comfortable size and spacing so the faceted corners don’t visually crowd.
The overall tone feels technical and forward-looking, like labeling from instrumentation or a sci‑fi interface. Its angular, faceted construction reads precise and deliberate, conveying a calm, methodical character rather than warmth or exuberance.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a neutral sans through an engineered, polygonal lens—keeping a straightforward skeleton while expressing curves as chamfered planes. The consistent corner-cut motif suggests a focus on systematized shapes for a contemporary, tech-oriented visual identity.
The faceting is applied consistently across both uppercase and lowercase, including rounded forms and bowls, which strengthens its system-like quality. Thin strokes and sharp geometry make it most at home at moderate sizes where the corner details remain legible.
