A compact, geometric sans with squared proportions and crisp, faceted joins that replace many curves with chamfered planes. Strokes are largely uniform with hard terminals, producing a clean, engineered rhythm and tight letterfit. Round letters like C, O, and G read as squared ovals with softened corners, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, and Y are straight and steep, reinforcing a constructed, modular feel. The lowercase is simple and functional—single-story a, straightforward bowls, and minimal modulation—while numerals follow the same angular, blocky logic for consistent texture in mixed text.
Works best where a crisp, technical voice is desirable: interface labels, dashboards, packaging or product branding, and short headlines. The strong geometry also suits signage and wayfinding-style applications, especially at medium to large sizes where the faceted forms read clearly.
The overall tone is technical and modern, with a slightly severe, machine-made character. Its faceted geometry evokes industrial labeling and sci‑fi interfaces, projecting clarity and control rather than warmth or tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, system-like sans with a signature faceted construction, offering a recognizable “machined” look while maintaining straightforward legibility for practical display and UI-style settings.
Distinctive details include the planar “corners” on otherwise round forms and the squared-off counters that keep interiors open at display sizes. In text, the tight geometry creates an even, compact color with a pronounced engineered edge, making the design feel intentionally constructed rather than drawn.
