A faceted sans with an oblique stance, built from straight strokes and clipped corners that replace most curves with planar angles. Letterforms read as monolinear with consistent stroke thickness and a slightly segmented construction, where joins and terminals often step or notch rather than round. Proportions are compact and streamlined, with simplified counters (notably in C, G, S, and 2/3) and a crisp, engineered rhythm that keeps diagonals and verticals visually aligned across the set. Numerals follow the same angular logic, emphasizing sharp corners and clean, open interior spaces.
Best suited to display sizes where its facets and stepped terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, titles, and brand marks with a tech or performance aesthetic. It can also work for short UI labels or HUD-style readouts when a futuristic tone is desired, but the angular segmentation may feel busy for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone feels technological and forward-leaning, evoking digital instrumentation and sci‑fi interface typography. Its sharp facets and slanted momentum add energy and a mildly aggressive precision, while the disciplined geometry keeps it controlled and modern.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a clean sans structure into a sharp, planar language—prioritizing speed, precision, and a digital-industrial voice. The consistent oblique posture and repeated corner motifs suggest an intent to create a cohesive, modern display face for technology-forward visuals.
The design relies on consistent corner treatments and deliberate breaks/steps at some terminals, creating a modular, pixel-adjacent texture without fully committing to a grid. The oblique angle is uniform across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping mixed-case text maintain a fast, cohesive flow.
