A monoline, forward-slanted sans with polygonal construction: curves are replaced by short straight segments and chamfered corners, creating a faceted outline throughout. Strokes remain consistently thin with minimal modulation, and many joins are clipped into small flats rather than true round terminals. Proportions are moderately narrow with a crisp, geometric rhythm; rounded forms like C, O, and G read as multi-sided shapes, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y stay sharp and clean. Numerals echo the same planar logic, with 0 and 8 rendered as segmented loops and simplified, angular counters.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, and product marks where the faceted forms can be appreciated. It also works for tech-oriented branding, UI labels, and packaging accents when used at sufficiently large sizes and with generous spacing to preserve the crisp, segmented construction.
The faceted geometry and italic lean give the typeface a schematic, engineered tone—more like plotted linework than brush or pen writing. It feels modern and techno-adjacent, suggesting speed, instrumentation, and constructed surfaces rather than softness or ornament.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, planar surfaces into a coherent alphabet—prioritizing consistent chamfers and straight-segment curves while maintaining an italic, forward-moving stance.
Distinctive chamfers appear at many corners and terminals, producing a consistent “cut” motif that ties uppercase, lowercase, and figures together. The thin strokes and segmented curves favor larger sizes where the angular detailing and polygonal counters remain clear.
