A compact, monoline sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. The letterforms are narrow with a steady vertical rhythm and consistent stroke thickness, giving a precise, engineered texture. Bowls and rounds (C, G, O, Q, 0) appear as polygonal outlines, while terminals are clipped rather than rounded; the overall geometry feels measured and grid-aligned. Lowercase forms are similarly angular and simplified, with a single-storey a and g, and a boxy, segmented feel across both letters and numerals.
Works well where consistent character widths and a disciplined rhythm are desirable, such as UI labels, HUD-style graphics, tables, and code-like specimens. It also suits short headlines, posters, and branding moments that benefit from an angular, engineered voice.
The faceted construction and clipped terminals convey a technical, industrial tone with a hint of retro display aesthetics. Its uniform, constructed shapes read as utilitarian and machine-made, suggesting signage, instrumentation, or game UI lettering rather than expressive handwriting.
The design appears intended to translate a constructed, faceted geometry into a compact sans for systematic layouts. By standardizing stroke weight and using chamfers in place of curves, it prioritizes a crisp, mechanical presence and clear alignment over softness or calligraphic nuance.
Text settings show a strong, even color and predictable spacing that favors alignment and tabular layouts. The sharp joins and internal counters stay open at display sizes, but the many facets can create a busy texture in longer passages.
