A tall, tightly set sans with a monoline feel and distinctly faceted construction. Curves are largely replaced by planar segments, producing squared-off bowls and chamfered corners that read cleanly at display sizes. Proportions are compact with minimal sidebearings, and vertical strokes dominate, giving the design a rigid, engineered rhythm. The lowercase maintains clear counters and straightforward forms, while the numerals follow the same angular logic for consistent texture.
Best suited to display applications where its narrow, angular silhouette can add character without heavy stroke contrast—such as headlines, posters, labels, and logotypes. It can also work for signage and interface accents where a technical, condensed look is desired, especially in short strings and titling.
The overall tone is utilitarian and machine-like, with a restrained retro-futurist edge. Its sharp facets and narrow stance convey efficiency and precision rather than warmth, suggesting signage, instruments, and schematic labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, modern sans voice with a distinctive faceted geometry, trading rounded softness for crisp planar edges. It prioritizes a consistent, engineered rhythm and a recognizable silhouette that stands out in titles and branded text.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds like C/O/Q and in joins where corners appear clipped rather than smoothly curved. The texture stays even across mixed-case sample text, with punctuation and spacing supporting a brisk, condensed reading line.
