A geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with chamfered, multi-sided facets. Stroke weight is even and firm, with squared terminals and consistent inner counters that echo the same octagonal logic in letters and numerals. Proportions are compact and engineered: capitals feel sturdy and wide-shouldered, while lowercase forms maintain a clean, mechanical rhythm with minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, staying highly legible through strong silhouettes and generous, angular counters.
Best suited for display typography where the faceted construction can be clearly seen: headlines, brand marks, product packaging, and environmental signage. It also fits UI labels and dashboards when a technical, hardware-like voice is desired, though its sharp detailing may be more impactful in short runs than in dense body copy.
The overall tone is technical and industrial, with a crisp, machined feel that reads as modern and performance-oriented. Its sharp geometry conveys precision and durability, suggesting digital interfaces, equipment labeling, and sporty branding rather than soft or expressive editorial moods.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a hard-edged, machined aesthetic by systematically chamfering corners and simplifying curves into planar facets. This creates a consistent industrial signature while preserving straightforward readability across letters and figures.
The repeated chamfers create a cohesive texture in blocks of text, producing a distinctive zig-zag sparkle along curves and diagonals. The design’s angular joins and squared punctuation lend a confident, no-nonsense presence, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the faceting becomes a defining feature.
