A slanted, monolinear sans built from crisp, faceted strokes where curves are replaced by short straight segments. Joins form sharp corners and subtle kinks, creating a polygonal rhythm throughout rounds and bowls (notably in C, O, Q, and 8). Proportions are relatively narrow with open apertures and a clean, uncluttered interior space, while widths vary by glyph for a slightly irregular, engineered texture. Numerals and capitals maintain consistent stroke weight and angular terminals, emphasizing a cut-from-planes construction rather than smooth geometry.
Best suited to display sizes where the faceted construction can read clearly—headlines, posters, and bold branding moments. It can also work for short UI labels, tech-themed graphics, and packaging callouts where an angular, engineered voice is desired; extended small text may benefit from generous spacing.
The overall tone feels technical and forward-looking, with a hard-edged, synthetic character that suggests circuitry, sci‑fi interfaces, or industrial labeling. The faceting adds tension and attitude, giving text a brisk, kinetic feel without becoming decorative to the point of illegibility.
The design appears intended to translate a clean sans skeleton into a planar, cut-edge aesthetic, delivering a modern voice that reads as constructed and precise rather than calligraphic. It prioritizes a consistent faceted motif and italic momentum to evoke speed and technology in contemporary display typography.
The italic slant is uniform and contributes to a sense of motion. Distinctive angular treatments in letters like S and G and the polygonal rounds help maintain recognizability while reinforcing the faceted theme across the set.
