A tall, condensed sans with sharp, faceted construction that replaces curves with planar angles and clipped corners. Strokes are extremely thin and clean, with hard terminals and a consistent, schematic line quality; interior counters stay open but can become tight due to the narrow proportions. Many glyphs rely on straight verticals and right-angle joins, while bowls and diagonals are resolved through chamfers and pointed junctions, creating a crisp, engineered rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, and tech-leaning branding where its faceted geometry can be appreciated. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation in high-contrast environments, but is less comfortable for long passages of small text.
The overall tone feels futuristic and technical, evoking drafting marks, digital interfaces, and sci‑fi titling. Its razor-thin presence reads as sleek and precise rather than friendly or expressive, lending a controlled, modern atmosphere.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, angular display voice built from straight segments and chamfered corners, prioritizing a distinctive geometric silhouette over conventional text readability. The consistent faceting across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals suggests a unified system aimed at modern, sci‑fi, or technical applications.
Distinctive chamfering and pointed joins give several letters a “cut metal” look, and the numerals echo the same clipped geometry for a cohesive set. Because the strokes are so light, legibility depends strongly on size, contrast, and spacing; the design reads most clearly when given room and used on clean backgrounds.
