A sharply angular, faceted sans with straight strokes and clipped corners that replace curves with short planar segments. The stroke weight stays even throughout, giving a clean monoline rhythm, while counters tend to form octagonal or chamfered shapes (notably in C, G, O, and the numerals). Proportions read slightly condensed with tall, straight-sided forms and compact apertures; terminals are typically flat and squared, reinforcing a constructed, modular feel. Lowercase mixes simplified geometric bowls with occasional straight descenders and single-storey forms, maintaining consistent corner chamfers across the set.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and signage where the faceted geometry can be appreciated. It also works well for short UI labels, product names, and thematic titling that leans into a technical or sci‑fi aesthetic.
The overall tone is technical and engineered—more like cut metal, signage, or vector plotter geometry than handwriting. Its faceted curves and squared joints suggest retro-futurism and industrial design, with a crisp, machine-made presence that feels confident and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a chiseled, planar system, emphasizing consistent chamfers and polygonal curves for a distinctive, constructed look. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and a cohesive mechanical rhythm over fully smooth, text-oriented curves.
Diagonal joins and chamfered corners create a distinctive sparkle in text, especially at larger sizes, while the tight apertures and segmented curves can make long passages feel busy. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic and look particularly suited to labels and readouts.
