A crisp monoline slab-serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a geometric, chamfered construction. Many curves are resolved into octagonal or faceted forms, giving bowls and rounds a machined, polygonal feel. Strokes stay consistently thin with sharp joins, square-ended terminals, and blocky, unbracketed slab serifs that read like small wedges or tabs. Proportions feel open and roomy, with generous interior counters and a steady, slightly mechanical rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, pull quotes, and brand marks where its faceted geometry and italic momentum can be appreciated. It can add a technical or sci‑fi edge to packaging and editorial layouts, and works especially well when paired with simpler text faces for contrast.
The overall tone is technical and retro-futuristic, like lettering from drafting tools, instrument panels, or early computer/arcade aesthetics. Its faceted curves and crisp slabs create a cool, engineered personality that feels deliberate and schematic rather than organic.
The design appears intended to fuse slab-serif structure with engineered, angular geometry—turning traditional round forms into chamfered polygons for a distinctive, technical display voice while maintaining legibility in short text settings.
The uppercase set leans toward constructed display forms, while the lowercase introduces a lightly calligraphic cadence through the slant and simplified joins. Numerals echo the same faceted, straight-cut geometry, reinforcing a cohesive “polygonal” motif throughout running text.
