A faceted geometric sans built from monoline strokes with consistent chamfered corners, turning curves into crisp planar segments. Bowls and rounds resolve into octagonal forms (notably in O, C, G, e, o), giving the alphabet a rigid, engineered rhythm. Proportions are compact with a comparatively low x-height, and the overall texture is clean and evenly weighted, with occasional width variation across glyphs that keeps the line from feeling purely monospaced. Numerals echo the same cut-corner construction, producing a cohesive, hard-edged set for both text and display use at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings where its faceted construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, product branding, and logo wordmarks. It also works well for UI titles, dashboards, and on-screen labels where a technical voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The sharp facets and clipped joins convey a technical, machine-made tone that reads as futuristic and utilitarian. It suggests interfaces, industrial labeling, and retro-digital aesthetics rather than warm, humanist lettering.
The design appears intended to translate familiar sans forms into a sharply faceted system, prioritizing geometric consistency and a high-tech voice. By replacing curves with controlled chamfers and planar segments, it aims to feel precise, modern, and built for contemporary graphic and interface environments.
Diagonal strokes are straight and brisk, and terminals tend to end in flat cuts or angled chamfers, reinforcing the modular feel. The distinctive octagonal counters and consistent corner treatment help maintain recognition even when letterforms get tight, though the faceting becomes more prominent as sizes increase.
