A geometric sans with squared, modular construction and consistent stroke thickness. Many curves are replaced by straight segments with chamfered (octagonal) corners, giving counters and bowls a faceted, cut-out look. Stems are mostly rectangular with occasional angled terminals, and several glyphs show purposeful nicks, notches, or broken edges that create a lightly distressed, machine-worn texture. Proportions are compact with sturdy forms, clear separation between strokes, and a slightly engineered rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited for display settings where its angular construction and distressed details can read clearly—headlines, posters, title cards, packaging accents, and tech/industrial branding. It also fits interface-like applications (game UI, overlays, signage) where a rugged, engineered voice is desired; for longer text, larger sizes help preserve the intentional edge details.
The overall tone feels technical and industrial, with a retro-digital edge—like labeling on equipment or a sci‑fi interface. The subtle distressing adds grit and a utilitarian, used-in-the-field character rather than a polished corporate finish.
The design appears intended to merge a modular, techno geometry with a controlled distressed treatment, producing a rugged display face that suggests machinery, equipment marking, and futuristic or arcade-inspired graphic systems.
Diagonal forms (such as in A, K, V, W, X, Y) stay crisp and angular, reinforcing the faceted theme. Numerals echo the same chamfered geometry, with squared bowls and clipped corners that keep the set visually cohesive.
