A constructed sans built from straight strokes with consistent line weight and frequent chamfered corners, creating an octagonal, faceted impression wherever curves would normally appear. The geometry favors squared bowls and clipped terminals, with clean joins and an overall technical rhythm. Proportions are fairly open and legible, with simplified forms and restrained detailing that keeps counters clear in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals echo the same angular logic, reading like segmented, planed outlines rather than rounded figures.
Well-suited for interface labels, dashboards, and product graphics where a technical, modern voice is desired. It can also work for headlines, posters, and sci‑fi or industrial branding, especially when set with generous spacing to emphasize the faceted construction.
The face conveys a crisp, engineered tone that feels futuristic and system-like, with a subtle retro-digital edge. Its faceted corners and schematic simplicity suggest technology, machinery, and precision rather than warmth or handwriting.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, planar vocabulary—substituting curves with clipped angles to create a precise, contemporary look that stays readable in running text while offering distinctive display character.
Diagonal strokes are used sparingly and decisively, and many letterforms replace arcs with short angled facets, giving a consistent "cut metal" silhouette. The sample text shows even texture at paragraph sizes, while the distinctive corners remain most noticeable in larger display settings.
