A very light, monoline slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a strongly geometric construction. Many curves are faceted into straight segments, giving round forms like O, C, and G an octagonal feel; joins and corners are sharp and deliberate. Proportions read as fairly regular with moderate ascenders and descenders, while spacing is open enough to keep the hairline strokes from clogging in text. Numerals and capitals echo the same chamfered geometry, creating a consistent, engineered rhythm across the set.
This font is well suited to headlines, titling, posters, and identity work where its faceted geometry can be read clearly. It also fits signage, wayfinding accents, and packaging that aims for an engineered or architectural aesthetic. For body text, it will work best at larger sizes with generous leading to preserve clarity of the thin strokes and sharp joins.
The overall tone is precise and architectural, with a refined, slightly retro technical flavor. The faceted curves and hairline strokes suggest drafting, engraving, or display lettering for instruments and signage rather than a soft, calligraphic voice. It feels orderly and composed, leaning more cerebral than expressive.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif structure with a constructed, polygonal drawing method, producing a refined display face that feels drafted rather than handwritten. Its consistent chamfering and crisp terminals prioritize a distinctive silhouette and a controlled, technical personality.
The design’s defining trait is the systematic use of chamfers that turns traditionally curved glyphs into polygonal silhouettes, which becomes especially noticeable at larger sizes. The thin stroke weight and crisp corners make it visually striking in short settings, while longer paragraphs can appear airy and meticulous due to the light color and angular detailing.
