A crisp, monoline sans built from straight strokes and sharp chamfered corners, replacing curves with small planar facets. Round characters like O, C, G, and 0 resolve into octagonal shapes, while joints stay clean and unbracketed with consistent stroke weight throughout. Proportions are tidy and geometric with open counters and clear interior space; diagonals are used sparingly but decisively in forms like A, K, M, V, W, X, and Y. The lowercase follows the same faceted logic, with a single-storey a and compact, technical-looking bowls in b/d/p/q, plus simple dot accents on i/j.
Well-suited to interface labels, product UI mockups, technical diagrams, and modern signage where a clean, geometric voice is desired. It also works for sci‑fi or tech-oriented headlines and short passages, especially in larger sizes where the faceting becomes a key visual feature.
The overall tone is cool and engineered, suggesting CAD drawings, sci‑fi interfaces, and instrument labeling rather than expressive handwriting. Its faceted geometry and thin, even linework feel modern and systematic, projecting precision and a slightly retro-digital character.
The design intention appears to be a streamlined geometric sans that translates circular forms into faceted, polygonal constructions, yielding a consistent "wireframe" look. It prioritizes structural clarity and a distinctive angular identity over traditional humanist softness.
The font reads best when its corner facets have room to resolve; at very small sizes the angled cuts can visually merge and make round letters appear similar. Numerals echo the octagonal motif (notably 0, 6, 8, 9), creating a cohesive, display-leaning rhythm across alphanumerics.
