A crisp geometric sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing most curves with planar facets. Strokes stay even in thickness, with frequent 45° cuts and octagonal counters (notably in O/0 and other round letters). Caps are tall and open with generous internal space; lowercase is simple and constructed, with single‑storey forms and compact joins. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, giving a consistent, engineered rhythm across letters and figures.
Best suited to display roles where its angular personality can be read clearly—headlines, logos, posters, packaging, and wayfinding/signage. It also works well for interface labels or tech-themed graphics when used at sizes that preserve its faceted details.
The faceted construction reads as technical and futuristic, with a hint of retro arcade or sci‑fi titling. Its sharp terminals and polygonal bowls convey precision and a slightly synthetic, manufactured tone rather than warmth or softness.
The design appears intended to translate a modern sans into a polygonal, machine-cut aesthetic—prioritizing a consistent monoline skeleton while introducing chamfers and straightened curves to create a distinctive, high-tech voice.
Diagonal structures are prominent in A, V, W, X, and Y, and many terminals end in clean chamfers instead of squared cuts. The overall texture is orderly and bright, and the distinctive polygonal “rounds” provide strong recognition in headings and short phrases.
