A very thin, monoline serif with crisp, unbracketed slab-like terminals and a strong geometric construction. Many rounded forms are rendered as faceted, octagonal shapes (notably O/C/G and the lowercase o/c/e), giving curves a chamfered, engineered feel. Strokes stay consistent in thickness, joins are sharp, and spacing reads open and airy at text sizes due to the hairline weight. Proportions feel slightly condensed in some letters, with straight-sided bowls and polygonal counters creating a distinctive rhythm across words.
Best suited to display settings where the faceted geometry and hairline slabs can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding accents, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial callouts or captions when printed or rendered at comfortable sizes that preserve its fine strokes.
The overall tone is technical and architectural, like lettering drawn from drafting diagrams or signage systems. Its faceted curves add a subtle eccentricity that keeps it from feeling purely utilitarian, balancing precision with a lightly playful, constructed character.
The design appears intended to merge classic slab-serif structure with a deliberately engineered, polygonal interpretation of curves, creating a draft-like aesthetic. It aims to deliver a distinctive, systematized look for contemporary display typography while maintaining recognizable serif skeletons.
Distinctive polygonal rounds are echoed in several numerals (such as 0, 8, and 9), helping the design feel cohesive between text and figures. The hairline strokes and sharp corners emphasize clean reproduction and generous letterspacing, while the slab terminals keep verticals and horizontals feeling anchored despite the light weight.
