A sharply faceted geometric sans built from straight strokes with consistent weight and chamfered corners that substitute for curves. Bowls and rounds become octagonal and rectangular forms, with crisp diagonal cuts at terminals and joins. The design keeps a steady, mechanical rhythm, mixing wide and narrow letterforms while maintaining a firm baseline and clear internal counters; numerals follow the same planar, cut-corner construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, logos, posters, and interface elements where a crisp, technological voice is desired. It also fits game branding, sci‑fi titling, and product/packaging graphics that benefit from a mechanical, angular silhouette.
The overall tone is technical and retro-futuristic, evoking arcade hardware, digital readouts, and industrial labeling. Its hard angles and modular construction feel precise and engineered rather than calligraphic, projecting a cool, utilitarian confidence.
The design appears intended to translate a modern sans skeleton into a planar, cut-corner system that feels digital and industrial while remaining readable. By replacing curves with facets and keeping stroke weight consistent, it aims for a distinctive display texture that still works across mixed-case text and numerals.
Key identifying details include frequent 45° chamfers on corners, squared-off curves, and angular diagonals that create a subtle stencil-like bite without breaking strokes. Spacing and forms read cleanly at display sizes, where the faceting becomes a defining texture.
