A geometric sans with an engineered, faceted construction: curves are replaced by short straight segments and chamfered corners, producing octagonal rounds and crisp, planar turns. Strokes stay even throughout, with clean joins and a consistent corner treatment that reads like a routed or plotter-drawn line. Proportions are compact and tidy, with open apertures and simplified terminals; diagonals are straight and decisive, and bowls and counters tend toward squared-off, multi-sided forms. Numerals and capitals share the same hard-edged rounding and steady rhythm, keeping the set visually uniform in text and display.
This font is well suited to headlines, identity marks, and short branding phrases where the faceted geometry can be appreciated. It also works effectively for UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding-style signage that benefits from a precise, engineered look and consistent stroke behavior.
The overall tone feels technical and future-leaning, with a utilitarian, instrument-panel vibe. Its sharp facets and controlled geometry suggest precision and machinery rather than warmth, giving it a slightly retro-digital character that fits sci‑fi and UI aesthetics.
The design appears intended to translate a modern sans skeleton into a hard-edged, planar system, emphasizing chamfers and straight segments as a signature detail. The goal seems to be a distinctive technical voice that remains readable while signaling precision and contemporary technology.
The chamfered rounding is a defining motif across both cases and figures, creating a distinctive ‘cut-corner’ silhouette even at smaller sizes. Letterforms remain straightforward and legible, but the faceting adds texture and personality that becomes more pronounced as size increases.
