A monolinear sans built from straight strokes with frequent chamfered corners that replace most curves with crisp facets. Round letters (C, O, Q, G) resolve into octagonal outlines, while diagonals are clean and evenly weighted, giving the design a constructed, modular feel. Counters stay fairly open, and joins are generally hard and planar rather than rounded, producing a consistent, machined rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase follows the same faceted logic, with simple single‑storey forms and squared terminals; figures share the angular geometry, with a notably polygonal 0 and compact, technical shaping on 2, 3, and 5.
Best suited to display roles where its faceted geometry can be appreciated: headlines, titles, posters, product branding, and tech- or game-adjacent graphics. It can also work for short UI labels and interface-style callouts when a hard-edged, engineered aesthetic is desired.
The overall tone is precise and engineered, evoking digital interfaces, hardware labeling, and sci‑fi environments. Its sharp corners and polygonal curves read as assertive and modern, with a subtle retro‑futurist edge.
The letterforms appear designed to translate circular shapes into planar segments, prioritizing a cohesive angular system that feels fabricated rather than written. The intent reads as a contemporary, tech-oriented sans that communicates precision and a constructed, futuristic personality.
The design’s repeated chamfers create a strong texture in running text, especially where many corners align along the baseline and x‑height. It remains legible at display sizes, but the dense cornering and tight interior angles give it a more technical than conversational voice.
