A clean, monolinear sans built from crisp planar facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness and terminate in sharp, straight-cut ends, producing an octagonal, “cut-paper” geometry across bowls and rounds. Proportions are fairly compact with open counters and slightly irregular, hand-drawn-feeling joins that keep the texture lively, especially in mixed case and running text. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with angular bowls and clear, simple silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where its faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, logos, packaging, and poster typography. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when a modern, geometric voice is desired, while longer passages remain readable but more characterful than neutral text faces.
The overall tone reads modern and slightly experimental, balancing a technical, engineered feel with a casual, handmade edge. Its sharp facets add a subtle sci‑fi flavor, while the friendly spacing and open forms keep it approachable rather than cold.
Likely designed to offer a contemporary sans with a distinctive faceted construction—suggesting speed, precision, and modernity—while preserving everyday legibility through open counters and straightforward letterforms.
Uppercase forms show simplified, geometric construction with polygonal rounding on letters like C, G, O, and Q. Lowercase includes single-storey shapes and a distinctive, looped “g,” contributing to an informal rhythm in paragraphs. The design stays consistent across letters and figures, giving text a cohesive, lightly stylized texture without becoming overly decorative.
