A sharply faceted, geometric sans with curves consistently replaced by straight segments and clipped corners, producing octagonal counters and chamfered terminals. Strokes are broadly monolinear and heavy, with squared joins and a modular, engineered rhythm across the alphabet. Uppercase forms feel compact and blocky, while lowercase uses simplified constructions with single-storey a and g and squared, notched shoulders in letters like n and m. Numerals follow the same planed geometry, with 0 and 8 built from octagonal outlines and 1 rendered as a simple vertical stroke.
Best suited for display use such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where a mechanical, angular look is desired. It also fits UI labeling for games or tech-themed interfaces, especially at medium to large sizes where the faceting and corner details remain distinct.
The overall tone is technical and hard-edged, evoking machinery, digital interfaces, and retro arcade signage. Its angular construction reads assertive and utilitarian, with a crisp, programmed feel rather than a humanist or calligraphic one.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a planar, machined system: consistent chamfers, polygonal bowls, and simplified structures that maintain legibility while emphasizing an engineered, digital-industrial personality.
The design relies on consistent corner cuts and flat interior angles, which keeps texture even in dense text but also makes certain shapes (notably C/G and O/Q/0) feel closely related. Apertures are relatively tight and counters are strongly polygonal, reinforcing the rigid, manufactured aesthetic.
