This typeface is built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with sharp, planar facets that create an octagonal rhythm in bowls and terminals. Strokes are even and consistent, with tall, compressed proportions and tight internal spaces that emphasize verticality. The lowercase keeps the same geometric discipline as the uppercase, with simplified forms and squared-off joins; counters tend to be narrow and rectangular, and round letters (like O/C/G) read as chamfered shapes. Numerals follow the same logic, with hard corners and compact apertures that maintain a uniform, engineered texture across lines of text.
It performs well in short, prominent settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and display copy where its faceted construction can be appreciated. The condensed footprint is useful for space-constrained applications like signage systems, UI headings, and packaging panels, especially when a technical or industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is mechanical and purposeful, evoking signage, instrumentation, and constructed surfaces rather than handwriting or classical typography. Its crisp facets and narrow build give it a slightly retro-futurist flavor—precise, industrial, and assertive without feeling heavy.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, highly geometric sans with a distinctive faceted construction—prioritizing a crisp, engineered aesthetic and strong vertical rhythm for display-oriented typography.
Because many forms rely on tight apertures and clipped corners, the design produces a dense, high-contrast silhouette at small sizes; it tends to look best when given enough size or spacing to let the faceting read clearly.
