A geometric, faceted sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with short diagonals and polygonal turns. Strokes remain consistently thin and monoline, with open apertures and simplified constructions that keep counters airy. The design feels modular and systematic, with many round-derived forms (C, G, O, Q, 0) rendered as octagonal outlines and terminals typically ending in flat cuts. Lowercase follows the same angular logic with a single-storey a and g, short-shouldered r, and compact bowls, while figures are similarly polygonal and evenly proportioned.
Best suited to display settings where its faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, poster typography, tech-forward branding, and interface accents. It can work for short passages at comfortable sizes, but the very thin, angular detailing is most effective when given space and sufficient contrast.
The overall tone is precise and engineered, evoking digital interfaces, plotted drawings, and sci‑fi instrumentation. Its sharp geometry and light linework create a cool, analytical voice that feels contemporary and slightly experimental rather than neutral or friendly.
The font appears designed to reinterpret a utilitarian sans through a polygonal, cut-corner vocabulary, emphasizing constructed geometry over calligraphic stroke logic. The consistent linear system suggests an intention to feel machine-made and modular, with a distinctive octagonal treatment for rounded characters.
In text, the thin strokes and frequent angled joints create a distinctive zig-zag rhythm, especially in diagonals and round forms. The punctuation is similarly restrained, with simple dots and minimal marks that match the linear construction.
