A crisp, faceted sans with chamfered corners and planar joins that substitute for curves, producing an octagonal, cut-metal silhouette across rounds and bowls. Strokes are largely monolinear with clean terminals and a disciplined, modular construction, giving the alphabet a consistent mechanical rhythm. Proportions feel condensed overall, with tall verticals, compact counters, and squared-off curves that stay open and legible in display sizes. The figures and capitals follow the same angular logic, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where its angular construction can be a primary visual element. It also fits signage, labeling, and interface-style graphics that benefit from a technical, geometric voice. For long-form reading, it will be most effective at larger sizes or in short passages where the faceted detailing can breathe.
The design reads as futuristic and utilitarian, with a technical, instrument-like tone reminiscent of sci‑fi interfaces and industrial labeling. Its sharp facets and orderly geometry lend a precise, engineered feeling that is more synthetic than humanist.
Likely intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, machined style, replacing smooth curves with sharp planar cuts for a distinctly technical personality. The consistent chamfering and monolinear strokes suggest a focus on clarity and a strong, repeatable visual motif for display typography.
The faceting is applied consistently to both uppercase and lowercase, creating a strong stylistic signature in rounded letters and in diagonals such as K, V, W, X, and Y. In running text, the repeated chamfers create a distinctive zig-zag sparkle along curves and joins, emphasizing a constructed, modular aesthetic.
