This typeface is built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with short diagonal facets that create an octagonal, chamfered silhouette throughout. Strokes read as largely monoline with clean joins, producing a crisp, engineered texture. Proportions are compact and vertical, with a comparatively tall x-height and open, simplified counters; round letters like O/C/G/Q appear as polygonal rings, while diagonals in A/V/W/X are sharply peaked and consistent. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, but the overall rhythm stays steady thanks to uniform stroke treatment and repeated corner logic.
Best suited to short-to-medium text at display sizes where the faceted details can read cleanly—such as tech branding, futuristic titles, product packaging, interface labels, signage, and editorial headlines. It also works well for logotypes or wordmarks that benefit from a geometric, engineered voice.
The faceted geometry conveys a techno-forward, schematic tone—precise, modern, and slightly cybernetic. Its corner-cut construction gives it a hard-edged, instrument-panel feel while remaining approachable enough for headline use.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a geometric, corner-cut construction into a coherent sans text system, emphasizing repeatable angles and consistent terminals for a unified, modern texture. The aim seems to be a distinctive, tech-leaning look that remains legible in running samples while clearly differentiating itself from purely rounded geometric sans styles.
Distinctive corner notches and clipped terminals are used as a unifying motif, giving the numerals and punctuation a cohesive, display-oriented personality. The design maintains clarity in mixed-case settings, with lowercase forms echoing the same chamfered construction without becoming overly decorative.
