A monoline, geometric sans built from straight segments and crisp chamfered corners, replacing most curves with faceted, polygonal turns. Strokes maintain an even thickness and terminate with flat ends, giving the outlines a plotted, constructed feel. Counters tend toward octagonal or rounded-rectangle shapes (notably in O/0 and B), and diagonals are clean and consistent across A, V, W, X, and Y. Spacing is regular and grid-friendly, with compact apertures and simplified joins that keep the rhythm even in continuous text.
Best suited to short-to-medium settings where its faceted geometry becomes a graphic asset—interface labels, instrument-style readouts, headings, and branding accents. It also works well for signage-like applications and packaging that benefit from a technical, constructed look, especially at sizes where the chamfers remain clearly visible.
The faceted construction and uniform stroke give the face a technical, engineered tone with a distinct sci-fi and industrial flavor. Its sharp geometry evokes digital displays, CAD labeling, and retro-futurist interfaces while staying restrained enough for utilitarian signage-style treatments.
The design appears intended to translate a neutral sans skeleton into a faceted, polygonal system that reads cleanly on a strict grid. By prioritizing straight segments, consistent joins, and simplified curves, it aims for a futuristic, engineered aesthetic that remains orderly and repeatable across letters and numbers.
Distinctive angular bowls and corners create strong letter differentiation (e.g., the multi-faceted O/0 and the hard-angled C/G). The lowercase keeps a straightforward, almost single-storey approach with minimal flourish, and round forms are consistently translated into planar facets, reinforcing the overall modular system.
