A geometric, faceted sans built from straight segments with crisp chamfered corners in place of curves. Strokes are consistently thin and even, with open, polygonal counters and a slightly modular, constructed feel. Uppercase forms tend toward octagonal outlines and clipped terminals, while the lowercase keeps a simplified, linear structure with compact bowls and short extenders, creating a tight vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same planar logic, with angular joins and squared-off turns that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, title cards, branding marks, and packaging with a technical or futuristic theme. It can work for short UI labels or signage-style applications when a distinctive geometric voice is desired, but the angular texture is most effective in moderate-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is futuristic and technical, with a retro digital or sci‑fi flavor reminiscent of wireframe signage and instrument labeling. Its sharp geometry adds a slightly experimental, engineered personality that feels modern yet playfully nostalgic.
The design appears intended to translate a polygonal, planar geometry into a clean sans framework, replacing curves with consistent chamfers to create a recognizable faceted signature. It prioritizes a cohesive, systematized shape language and a modern-tech atmosphere over conventional text neutrality.
Diagonal strokes and corner cuts are used to maintain consistent angles across the set, giving the alphabet a cohesive, system-like aesthetic. The open construction and light stroke weight emphasize clarity and airiness, though the faceting becomes the dominant texture in longer lines of text.
