An angular sans with faceted, chamfered corners that replace curves with short diagonal cuts. Strokes are consistently monoline, producing a crisp, high-contrast silhouette against the counters, which tend toward squared and octagonal forms. Proportions feel compact and engineered, with predominantly straight horizontals and verticals and occasional diagonal joins in letters like K, V, W, X, and Y. The rhythm is clean and modular, with distinctive rectangular apertures and notch-like terminals that keep letterforms legible while emphasizing a geometric, planar construction.
Best suited for display sizes where the faceted geometry can read clearly—headlines, logos, title cards, packaging accents, and signage. It also fits UI labels and dashboards when a technical or industrial voice is desired, especially for short strings, navigation, or numeric-heavy readouts.
The overall tone is tech-forward and utilitarian, evoking digital interfaces, sci‑fi labeling, and arcade-era display typography. Its sharp facets and hard edges convey precision, control, and a slightly retro-futurist attitude rather than softness or warmth.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, panel-cut construction into a practical sans for contemporary tech and gaming contexts. By minimizing curves and standardizing chamfers, it aims to deliver a distinctive, futuristic texture while keeping forms clear across mixed-case text and numerals.
In the sample text, the faceting stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving mixed-case settings a cohesive, system-like feel. The numerals mirror the letterforms’ squared geometry (notably the angular 2, 5, and 8), supporting a coordinated, instrument-panel aesthetic.
