A faceted, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar angles. Counters are generally squared or octagonal, and joins are crisp, giving letters a machined, modular feel. Strokes read largely monoline, with clean terminals and consistent edge treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures. Spacing and proportions create a slightly mechanical rhythm, and the digit set follows the same chamfered geometry for a unified texture in mixed text.
This font suits display-led typography where its angular construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, title cards, and brand marks for technology, gaming, or industrial themes. It can also work for short UI labels, signage, and packaging callouts when a crisp, technical voice is desired.
The overall tone feels futuristic and engineered, with a retro-digital edge reminiscent of instrument panels, arcade-era visuals, and sci‑fi interfaces. Its sharp facets and uniform construction convey precision and efficiency rather than softness or warmth.
The design appears intended to translate a conventional sans structure into a faceted, hard-edged system, emphasizing straight-line construction and chamfered corners for a sleek, synthetic aesthetic. It aims to deliver a strong, modern personality while retaining familiar letter skeletons for readability.
The faceting is most evident wherever a typical sans would use curves (bowls, shoulders, and round figures), producing distinctive angular silhouettes while keeping forms highly legible at display sizes. The italic-free, upright stance and consistent corner cuts help the font maintain a coherent ‘constructed’ look across long lines of text.
