A crisp, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with chamfered facets. Terminals tend to be flat or diagonally cut, giving many counters and bowls an octagonal feel. Stroke weight stays even with minimal modulation, while proportions vary per glyph, creating a slightly modular rhythm in text. The lowercase is compact and structured, with single‑storey forms and angular joins; numerals follow the same faceted construction for a consistent, engineered texture.
Best suited to display settings where its angular construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, product branding, and packaging. It can also support short UI labels or titles when a hard-edged, tech-forward voice is desired, but the strong faceting is most effective in larger sizes.
The overall tone is technical and assertive, with a clean, constructed look that suggests machinery, sci‑fi interfaces, and precision-cut signage. Its sharp facets read as purposeful and disciplined rather than playful, lending a contemporary, performance-oriented character.
The design appears intended to translate a modern sans into a faceted, polygonal system, prioritizing sharp geometry and consistent chamfers to evoke a machined, futuristic aesthetic while maintaining straightforward letterforms for readability.
Diagonal cuts are used systematically at corners and junctions, producing a consistent “beveled” silhouette that stays legible at display sizes. The faceting becomes a defining texture in running text, where repeated chamfers create a distinctive, patterned cadence.
