A delicate monoline sans with taut, geometric construction and a distinctly faceted approach to curves. Bowls and rounds are rendered as straight, planar segments, producing polygonal O/C/G and a crisp, engineered rhythm across the set. Strokes stay consistently thin with clean terminals; horizontals and verticals feel measured, while diagonals in A/V/W/X read sharp and controlled. Lowercase forms are simple and open, with single-storey a and g and generous counters that keep the texture light and spacious. Numerals follow the same linear logic, with segmented curves in 2/3/5/6/9 and a clean, open 4.
Best suited to display settings where its thin strokes and faceted geometry can be appreciated—headlines, logotypes, product branding, and contemporary posters. It can also work for large-size interface or editorial display typography where a light, precise texture is desired, but it benefits from ample size and contrast against the background.
The overall tone is cool and contemporary, with a refined, technical calm. Its faceted geometry evokes architectural drafting and digital interfaces, giving text a precise, designed feel rather than a warm, handwritten one.
The design appears intended to translate geometric sans proportions into a faceted, planar language that feels modern and constructed. By replacing smooth curves with straight segments and keeping strokes uniformly light, it aims for a minimal, architectural aesthetic with a distinctive, engineered silhouette.
The extreme thinness makes joins and intersections visually prominent, emphasizing the font’s polygonal construction. Round letters maintain consistent facet angles, creating a coherent pattern in continuous reading, while the simplified lowercase helps maintain clarity despite the light stroke.
