A geometric sans built from straight segments and flattened, faceted curve substitutes. Strokes keep a consistent thickness with rounded terminals and softened inside corners, giving the forms a clean, engineered feel rather than a sharp cut. Counters tend toward squarish rectangles, and many bowls and shoulders are expressed as planar angles with small radiused joins. Proportions are compact and slightly narrow in places, with a modular rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and brand wordmarks where its faceted geometry can be a focal point. It also fits packaging, product labels, wayfinding-style graphics, and UI or game/interface treatments that want a crisp, technical voice.
The overall tone reads technical and futuristic, with a subtle retro-digital flavor reminiscent of industrial labeling and early sci‑fi interface graphics. Rounded ends prevent it from feeling aggressive, keeping the voice approachable while still distinctly machine-made and systematic.
The design appears intended to translate a sans skeleton into a modular, faceted construction that replaces curves with planar segments while maintaining smooth, rounded terminals for clarity. It prioritizes a consistent system and distinctive silhouette for modern, tech-leaning display typography.
Distinctive faceting shows up most in curved letters and numerals, where arcs are replaced by short straight runs and chamfer-like transitions. The forms are open and legible at display sizes, while the squared counters and tight geometry can create a slightly busy texture in longer paragraphs, especially where many verticals repeat.
