A slender, obliqued sans with a distinctly faceted construction: bowls and curves resolve into short straight segments with clipped corners, giving many glyphs an octagonal, planar feel. Strokes are largely monoline, with clean joins and a consistent diagonal slant that carries through caps, lowercase, and numerals. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, while terminals are crisp and often beveled rather than rounded, producing a sharp, engineered texture in running text.
Well suited to display settings such as headlines, branding marks, posters, and packaging where its faceted geometry can be a recognizable signature. It can also work for short UI labels or technical diagrams when a futuristic, engineered flavor is desired, especially at sizes large enough to keep counters from closing up.
The overall tone reads as technical and forward-looking, with a mechanical precision that suggests instrumentation, schematics, or sci‑fi interface graphics. Its sharp facets and steady slant add urgency and motion without becoming expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a chamfered, polygonal vocabulary, replacing smooth curves with planar facets while maintaining a consistent italicized momentum. The goal is a modern, industrial character that reads cleanly but feels deliberately constructed.
In the sample text, the narrow letterforms and tight internal spaces create a dense rhythm that feels best when given a bit of breathing room. The faceting is most noticeable in rounded letters and numerals, where the geometry creates a distinctive “cut metal” silhouette.
