A monolinear sans built from straight strokes and small chamfered corners, giving round forms a faceted, planar feel. The geometry is clean and consistent, with rectangular counters and clipped joins that create a crisp, engineered rhythm. Terminals are flat and squared, curves are largely replaced by angled segments, and punctuation/figures follow the same hard-edged construction for a cohesive texture in text.
Well suited to interface labels, dashboards, and product graphics where a crisp, engineered voice is desired. It also works for wayfinding, technical documentation headings, and contemporary display titling that benefits from angular, cut-corner forms without heavy styling.
The overall tone is technical and industrial, with a subtle sci‑fi edge driven by the octagonal, cut-corner silhouettes. It reads as precise and instrument-like rather than friendly or expressive, suggesting engineered signage and digital systems.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted system, substituting curves with controlled chamfers to evoke manufactured parts and digital construction while remaining readable in running text.
Capitals maintain a disciplined, modular feel, while the lowercase retains clear differentiation through distinctive angled shoulders and clipped bowls. Numerals are similarly faceted, producing a uniform, mechanical color when set in sequences or UI-like strings.
