A faceted, angular sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar cuts and octagonal bowls. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with square terminals and crisp joins that create a pixel-adjacent, machined rhythm. Counters tend to be rectangular or chamfered, and the overall spacing feels open, helping the dense shapes stay legible. Distinctive details include the slashed zero, a single-storey “a”, and a sharply notched, geometric “g” and “e” with hard horizontal apertures.
Best suited to display roles where the geometric facets can read clearly—headlines, logotypes, esports and gaming UI, sci‑fi/tech packaging, and bold poster typography. It can work for short UI labels and navigational elements where a hard-edged, engineered aesthetic is desired.
The font reads as utilitarian and high-tech, evoking arcade interfaces, sci‑fi HUDs, and industrial labeling. Its sharp facets and blocky silhouettes give it an assertive, engineered tone with a mildly retro-digital edge.
The design appears intended to translate sans-serif skeletons into a consistent chamfered system, emphasizing straight geometry and clipped corners for a futuristic, device-like look while maintaining recognizability across the alphabet and numerals.
Diagonal cuts are used consistently to suggest curvature (notably in C/G/O/Q and the numeral set), producing a cohesive faceted system. The forms favor straight horizontals and verticals, so long lines of text can feel pattern-like and mechanical, especially at larger sizes.
