A condensed, monoline sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, with faceted joins that replace most curves with short diagonals. Bowls and rounds resolve into octagonal silhouettes, giving letters like O, C, and S a polygonal rhythm. Strokes are consistently even, terminals are squared or chamfered, and counters stay relatively open despite the narrow set. The overall construction feels modular and precise, with a slightly compressed vertical emphasis that keeps lines of text tight and orderly.
Best suited to display use where its polygonal structure can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, and logos with a technical or industrial voice. It also works well for UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding-style signage where crisp, angular letterforms reinforce a mechanical or futuristic theme.
The faceted geometry and engineered regularity evoke a technical, machine-made tone—somewhere between retro digital signage and modern industrial UI. Its sharp corners and disciplined spacing feel confident and utilitarian, with a faint sci‑fi edge that reads as systematic rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, faceted construction into a practical sans that remains readable in short passages while delivering a distinctly angular personality. By standardizing stroke weight and corner chamfers, it aims for a clean, engineered look that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Uppercase forms are particularly architectural, while the lowercase keeps the same angular logic for a cohesive texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same chamfered geometry, maintaining a uniform, sign-like consistency across alphanumerics.
