A condensed, linear sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with small planar facets. Strokes keep a consistent thickness throughout, with minimal contrast and a crisp, technical outline. The proportions are tall and compact with tight internal counters; round letters like C, O, and Q read as polygonal forms, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y are sharp and clean. Numerals echo the same chamfered geometry, giving the set a cohesive, engineered rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where the faceted geometry can be appreciated. It can also work for signage, interface labeling, and technical or industrial packaging where a precise, compact voice is desirable.
The overall tone is cool and systematic, with a retro-futurist, instrument-like feel. Its faceted construction suggests drafting, circuitry, and precision labeling rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, machined aesthetic into an efficient condensed sans. By systematically faceting curves and standardizing stroke behavior, it aims for a distinctive technical look that remains orderly and readable in structured layouts.
Distinctive chamfering is used consistently at terminals and joins, which keeps the texture even in longer text lines. The narrow set width and tight apertures make it feel efficient and space-conscious, while the segmented geometry adds character at display sizes.
