A geometric sans built from straight strokes with consistent thickness and frequent chamfered corners, replacing curves with short angled facets. The forms sit on a rigid grid and maintain even, rectangular proportions, producing a steady, mechanical rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Counters tend toward octagonal shapes, terminals are flat, and joins are crisp, giving the alphabet a constructed, machined look. Figures follow the same faceted logic, with notably angular bowls and diagonals that read cleanly at text sizes.
Well-suited to interfaces, dashboards, and on-screen labels where a disciplined, engineered voice is desired. It can also work for technical documentation, schematics, packaging copy, and wayfinding where a compact, grid-aligned texture and crisp geometry help maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels technical and instrument-like, with a retro-digital flavor reminiscent of labeling, hardware markings, and early computer or calculator aesthetics. Its sharp geometry and uniform cadence convey precision and restraint rather than warmth or ornament.
Likely designed to translate a faceted, polygonal construction into a practical text face—maintaining a distinctive angular personality while keeping proportions and spacing orderly for continuous reading and alignment-heavy applications.
In running text the faceting becomes a distinctive texture—corners and short diagonals create a subtle sparkle while preserving clear word shapes. The design’s regular spacing and modular construction support consistent alignment and a controlled, schematic feel.
