A faceted sans with angular, chamfered corners that replace most curves with short straight segments, producing an octagonal, cut-metal look. Strokes are largely uniform and monolinear, with crisp terminals and squared joins that keep counters compact and evenly weighted. Proportions are steady and legible, with slightly condensed, upright letterforms and a clean, linear rhythm; round characters like O/Q and the numerals are especially defined by clipped corners rather than continuous curves.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and branding that benefits from a machined, geometric personality. It also fits labels, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage where clarity and a technical aesthetic are desirable, and can be used for short UI or dashboard-style titling when a distinctive, engineered tone is needed.
The overall tone feels technical and industrial, with a retro-instrument and signage flavor. Its sharp geometry reads as purposeful and engineered rather than friendly, giving text a mechanical, no-nonsense voice.
Designed to translate a straight-edged, fabricated geometry into a practical sans for everyday lettering. The consistent chamfering suggests an intention to evoke cut metal, stenciled plastics, or instrument-panel typography while keeping forms clean and readable.
The faceting is applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and figures, which helps long passages retain a uniform texture despite the distinctive corner treatment. The look remains clear at display sizes, where the chamfers become a defining detail.
