Are there any light weight square [ ] shape stems ?

Most all light weight stems are round and the squarish ones look to be heavy from what I have seen.

Ritchey c260 superlogic? Enve? The Easton EA90 has a somewhat squarish shape to it also.

Does it need to be square, or just have flattened surfaces ?
VCRC has an octagonal shaped stem with flattened surfaces.

Pro PLT is not too bad weight wise from memory (maybe 135ish in 110mm?), wouldn't call it lightweight in the weight weenie world but it definitely has a square profile. Some Ti bolts would lighten it up.

The Deda El is about 140-145 for a 110, not too bad for aluminum, and it is square
