This font uses crisp, planar facets to suggest curves, giving bowls and rounds a polygonal, cut-paper appearance. Strokes read largely monoline with blunt terminals and clean joins, producing a steady, engineered rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact and geometric, while the lowercase adds a slightly more casual texture with simplified constructions and clearly separated counters. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with angular turns and straightened arcs that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where the faceted geometry can be a recognizable visual hook. It also works well for editorial callouts, tech or design-themed branding, and short navigational labels that benefit from a sharp, contemporary presence.
The overall tone feels geometric and slightly unconventional, like lettering cut from hard material or drafted for a technical display. Its sharp facets lend an assertive, contemporary edge, while the simplified shapes keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to translate a clean sans structure into a faceted, polygonal vocabulary, turning rounded anatomy into deliberate angles while maintaining legibility. It aims to provide a distinctive geometric voice that feels modern and constructed, suitable for branding-led typography.
The faceting is most noticeable in traditionally rounded letters, where corners replace smooth curves and create a distinctive, crystalline silhouette. The texture is bold in headlines and holds together well in short lines, with consistent spacing that emphasizes the font’s constructed, modular feel.
