A crisp, geometric sans with sharp planar facets replacing most curves. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with corners frequently cut back into short diagonals that create a chiseled, polygonal rhythm. Counters are compact and often squared-off or octagonal, while terminals tend to end in straight cuts rather than rounded finishes. The design keeps a consistent vertical stance and clear, simple construction, with occasional narrow joins and notched intersections that emphasize the engineered feel.
Best suited for display typography where its faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and tech or industrial-themed graphics. It can work for short UI labels or section titles when you want a crisp, engineered voice, but longer text will read most comfortably at larger sizes.
The overall tone is modern and mechanical, suggesting precision and fabricated surfaces rather than softness or handwriting. Its faceted geometry reads as tech-forward and slightly retro-futurist, with an industrial edge that feels suited to synthetic or modular themes.
The design appears intended to translate a clean sans skeleton into an angular, planar aesthetic—evoking cut metal, machined parts, or polygonal rendering—while keeping letterforms straightforward and usable in everyday Latin text settings.
In text, the repeated diagonal bevels become a strong texture, giving words a patterned, segmented look. The numerals and capitals maintain the same faceted logic, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive. At smaller sizes the sharp notches and tight counters can visually densify, while at display sizes the cut planes become a distinctive stylistic signature.
