A geometric, faceted sans built from straight segments and clipped corners, replacing curves with short chamfers that create an octagonal rhythm. Strokes are consistently thin and uniform, with crisp joins and largely open counters formed by angled terminals. Proportions read clean and controlled: capitals are compact and rectilinear, while lowercase maintains a steady x-height with simplified bowls and diagonals that stay faithful to the segmented construction. Numerals follow the same planar logic, with angular turns and flat endings that keep the set cohesive.
Best suited to display settings where the faceted geometry can read as a deliberate stylistic choice—headlines, posters, titles, and branding systems that lean technical or futuristic. It also fits UI labels, packaging accents, and product marks where a crisp, engineered tone is desired and sizes are large enough to preserve the thin, angular detailing.
The letterforms evoke a technical, sci‑fi sensibility—like signage or interface lettering drawn with a plotter or vector grid. Its sharp facets and restrained stroke make it feel precise, engineered, and slightly retro-futurist, with an industrial clarity rather than warmth.
The design appears intended to translate a modern sans into a chamfered, planar system, prioritizing consistency of angles and corner treatments over traditional curves. Its uniform stroke and segmented outlines suggest an aim for a clean, synthetic texture that feels modular and precise across letters and numerals.
Many glyphs show consistent corner clipping on outer contours and inner counters, producing a recognizable "cut" silhouette across rounds (C, G, O, Q, 0, 8, 9) and bowls (b, d, p, q). Diagonals are clean and prominent (K, M, N, V, W, X, Y), and punctuation in the sample text appears to match the same minimal, linear construction.
