A compact, faceted sans with monoline strokes and an oblique stance. Curves are consistently replaced by short planar segments, producing chamfered corners and polygonal bowls. Terminals are mostly blunt with occasional angled cuts, and joins stay clean with minimal flare. Proportions run condensed with a slightly irregular, hand-drawn steadiness, while counters remain fairly open for the style. Numerals and lowercase follow the same angular logic, with single-storey forms and simplified construction throughout.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short editorial or promotional lines where its angular texture can be a feature. It also fits tech, sci‑fi, and gaming contexts such as UI labels, title screens, and packaging accents. For longer passages it works most comfortably at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels futuristic and schematic, like lettering from vintage sci‑fi interfaces or technical labeling. Its crisp facets add an energetic, slightly game-like personality that reads as modernist but playful rather than strict or corporate.
The design appears intended to translate a sans-serif skeleton into a faceted, tool-cut aesthetic while keeping stroke weight even and forms recognizable. It prioritizes distinctive texture and forward motion over pure neutrality, aiming for a clean geometric voice with a stylized polygonal edge.
The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping text form a forward-leaning rhythm. Faceting is applied uniformly across rounded letters (C, O, S, U) and across diagonals (A, K, V, W), giving the design a cohesive polygonal texture at both display sizes and in short lines of text.
