A sharply faceted, monoline sans with polygonal construction throughout, replacing curves with short planar segments and crisp corners. Strokes keep an even, very lean thickness and a slightly jittery, hand-drawn regularity, while letterforms lean forward with a consistent slant. Counters tend to be open and angular, joins are abrupt, and terminals are cleanly cut, producing a rhythmic, segmented texture across words. Proportions vary modestly by glyph, with narrow, pointed forms (V, W, Y) contrasting against more enclosed, multi-facet shapes (O, Q, 8).
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and short editorial callouts where the faceted texture can be appreciated. It also fits tech, sci-fi, gaming, and experimental graphics, and can add distinctive edge to packaging or album/cover art when used at moderate to large sizes.
The overall tone feels techno-geometric and intentionally rough-edged, like a wireframe or low-poly sketch. Its forward lean and chopped facets give it urgency and a DIY experimental attitude, reading as futuristic but not glossy—more prototype than product. The quirky angles add character and a slightly playful, off-kilter voice.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, low-poly aesthetic into an everyday sans structure, prioritizing angular personality and forward motion over smooth readability. It aims for a distinctive graphic voice with consistent polygonal construction across letters and figures.
At text sizes the segmented outlines create a lively sparkle, but the many corners can make long passages feel busy; it shines most when the angular texture is allowed to be a feature. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with strong geometric silhouettes and consistent stroke weight.
