A geometric, faceted sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, with curves translated into short planar segments. Strokes are consistently thin and even, with rounded terminals used sparingly and most joins resolved through chamfers. Many bowls and counters take on octagonal or polygonal outlines (notably in O, Q, 0, 8, 9), while diagonals stay crisp and symmetrical in forms like V, W, X, and Y. Lowercase mixes simplified, single-storey constructions (a, g) with tall ascenders and compact counters, producing a slightly technical rhythm in text.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and short-form copy where the faceted geometry can read as an intentional motif. It also fits interface labeling, game UI, and tech-themed graphics where consistent polygonal forms across letters and numbers are useful. For dense body text, it will read more as a stylized voice than a neutral workhorse.
The overall tone is precise and engineered, evoking signage, schematics, and retro-future display aesthetics. Its faceting adds a subtle sci‑fi flavor, balancing a playful polygonal quirk with a clean, controlled demeanor.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a straightforward sans skeleton through polygonal construction, replacing continuous curves with crisp facets for a modern, techno-architectural feel. Its consistent corner treatment suggests an emphasis on visual coherence across the full alphanumeric set and on maintaining a clean outline suitable for display usage.
Distinctive angular rounding and consistent corner clipping create a strong visual signature across both letters and numerals. The numerals follow the same polygonal logic, helping alphanumerics feel cohesive in UI-like contexts. In longer text, the faceted detailing remains visible, giving headings a distinctive texture without relying on ornament.
