A very light, monoline italic with crisp, unbracketed slab-like terminals and a distinctly faceted construction. Curves are regularly broken into straight segments, giving round letters (like O, C, G, 0, 8, 9) an octagonal, drafted feel. Strokes keep an even thickness with sharp joins and squared-off ends, producing a clean, mechanical rhythm; spacing appears moderately open, and the italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where the faceted geometry can be appreciated. It can work well in branding, packaging, and titling that aims for a technical or designed-by-drawing-board impression, and it’s especially effective when paired with minimal layouts or schematic/industrial visuals.
The overall tone reads technical and architectural, like lettering derived from drafting templates or engraved signage. Its angularized bowls and strict terminals add a slightly quirky, retro-futuristic personality while still feeling orderly and precise.
The design appears intended to translate a slab-serif italic into a sharply constructed, polygonal system, prioritizing consistency of angle, terminal shape, and stroke economy. The goal seems to be a distinctive, engineered voice that remains legible while foregrounding its drafted, geometric character.
The faceting is a defining motif: many diagonals and corners are emphasized over smooth curvature, which makes the design stand out at display sizes but gives it a deliberately “constructed” texture in continuous text. Numerals follow the same geometry, with notably angular 2, 3, 5 and octagonal 0/8 forms that reinforce the engineered aesthetic.
