A sharply angular, faceted sans with a consistent mono-rhythm and a lightly slanted construction. Strokes are thin and uniform, with corners formed by straight segments and clipped joins rather than curves, giving counters and bowls a polygonal, almost wireframe feel. Terminals are often cut on an angle, and several letters use open, segmented shapes that emphasize the geometry over continuous outlines. Spacing and overall proportions read compact and slightly tall, with a restrained x-height and clear separation between characters in running text.
Best suited for display use where its angular, faceted detailing can be appreciated—logos, posters, titles, and short UI labels. It can also work for thematic branding in tech, sci‑fi, or game-adjacent contexts where a drafted, geometric voice reinforces the message. For longer text, it functions more as a stylistic texture than a neutral reading face.
The font conveys a technical, schematic tone—like lettering drawn with a ruler, then simplified into crystalline facets. Its sharp edges and open constructions feel futuristic and slightly game-like, while the irregularities of the segment joins keep it from feeling purely mechanical. Overall it projects a cool, experimental attitude with a hand-drafted edge.
The design appears intended to translate a minimal sans skeleton into a faceted, planar system—replacing curves with straight segments and emphasizing crisp angles and open geometry. The consistent rhythm and thin strokes suggest an aim for a lightweight, schematic look that stays legible while feeling intentionally constructed and unconventional.
In the sample text, the slant and polygonal counters create a lively rhythm, especially in combinations with many diagonals. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with straight-sided forms and angled joints that keep them visually consistent with the alphabet. The design favors distinctive silhouettes over smoothness, which helps short strings stand out but can add visual texture in longer passages.
