A sharply geometric sans with faceted, straight-edged construction that replaces curves with small planar corners. Strokes are consistently thin and clean, with crisp joins and minimal rounding, giving letters an octagonal, wireframe feel. Proportions are tall and condensed overall, with a compact x-height and long ascenders/descenders that emphasize verticality. The rhythm is airy and precise, with open counters and simplified forms that keep the texture light even in longer lines.
Best suited to display settings where its thin, angular construction can stay crisp: headlines, posters, logotypes, and product or event branding with a tech-forward voice. It can also work for short UI titles or interface labels when set large enough to preserve its fine stroke detail.
The faceted geometry and hairline strokes read as futuristic and engineered, suggesting technical drawing, digital interfaces, or sci‑fi titling. Its sharp corners and narrow stance add a slightly edgy, high-tech tone while remaining restrained and orderly.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, faceted drawing language into an accessible sans alphabet—prioritizing sharp planar corners, a light footprint, and a controlled, modern texture for contemporary display typography.
Several glyphs show deliberate corner cuts at terminals and joints, creating a consistent chamfered motif across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The figures echo the same angular logic, with straight segments and clipped corners that maintain the font’s cohesive, schematic character.
