A thin, single-stroke sans with a consistent line weight and a right-leaning stance. Curves are largely replaced by short planar segments, producing faceted bowls and chamfered corners that read like bent wire or plotted vectors. Proportions are roomy with generous sidebearings and an even, grid-like rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Terminals are mostly blunt and slightly rounded by the stroke joins, and counters stay open and airy, keeping the texture light on the page.
Well-suited to interface labels, HUD-style readouts, diagrams, and other situations where a light, gridded rhythm and clear character separation are helpful. It can also serve as a distinctive accent for posters, packaging, or editorial callouts where a technical or retro-futurist flavor is desired, especially at medium to large sizes where the faceting is easy to appreciate.
The overall tone feels engineered and schematic—like labeling from a technical drawing—while the faceted construction adds a playful, slightly sci‑fi edge. Its lean and airy strokes give it a brisk, informal energy rather than a solemn or traditional voice.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, plotted construction into a practical text face: consistent stroke behavior, systematic angles, and repeatable joins create a cohesive, engineered look. The faceted approach suggests a deliberate move away from smooth curves toward a more architectural, vector-drawn aesthetic.
Distinctive polygonal rounding shows up consistently in letters with bowls and curves (e.g., C/G/O/Q and a/e), helping the set feel coherent despite the minimal stroke weight. The numerals follow the same bent-segment logic, reinforcing a uniform, instrument-panel feel in mixed alphanumeric settings.
