A geometric, faceted sans built from straight strokes with chamfered corners and minimal curvature. The drawing uses consistent line weight and generous internal spacing, giving letters an open, airy color even at larger sizes. Many forms rely on angled cuts to suggest curves (notably in C/G/O/S), creating a planar, segmented rhythm. Overall proportions read slightly expanded, with tall ascenders, clean terminals, and simplified joins that keep counters clear.
Best suited to short text where its faceted geometry can read clearly: headlines, logos/wordmarks, posters, packaging accents, and environmental or wayfinding signage. It also fits UI/UX titles and technical labeling where a futuristic, modular voice is desired.
The font conveys a futuristic, technical tone—more like interface labeling, hardware markings, or sci‑fi signage than traditional editorial text. Its faceted construction and schematic simplicity feel precise and engineered, with a cool, modern restraint.
The design appears intended to translate rounded sans shapes into a crisp, planar system, replacing curves with consistent chamfers for a unified, engineered look. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and a controlled, technical rhythm over conventional text smoothness.
Distinctive details include polygonal round letters, a hexagon-like O, and angular diagonals that give capitals a constructed, machine-made feel. The lowercase set mirrors the same geometry, with single-storey a and simplified forms throughout; dots and small interior details appear as crisp punctuating elements rather than calligraphic features.
