A squared, angular sans with chamfered corners and frequent diagonal terminals that create a cut-metal, engineered feel. Curves are typically translated into rounded-rectangle forms (notably in C, O, and 0), while joins and corners often show notch-like ink-trap shapes and sharp wedges. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with thicker stems contrasted by thinner diagonals and tapered terminals, producing a crisp, mechanical rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact and monolinear in silhouette, while the lowercase mixes geometric bowls with slightly calligraphic entry/exit cuts, yielding a distinctive texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where its chamfered geometry and ink-trap detailing can read clearly. It can work well for brand marks, product naming, packaging, and signage in contexts that benefit from a technical or industrial voice. For body text, it is more effective at larger sizes or with generous tracking to keep the notched terminals from crowding.
The overall tone feels industrial and techno, with a retro-futurist edge reminiscent of stencil, sci‑fi, or machine-engraved lettering. Its sharp cuts and squared counters convey precision and toughness more than warmth, making it read as assertive and utilitarian. In longer text it creates a stylized, rhythmic “coded” voice rather than a neutral one.
The design appears intended to merge a clean sans foundation with purposeful cuts and squared construction, delivering a mechanical, display-oriented personality. The combination of rounded-rectangle bowls and sharp, tapered terminals suggests an aim for high-impact legibility with a distinctive techno/industrial signature.
Several glyphs emphasize sharp diagonals and notched corners (e.g., V/W/X/Y), while rounded forms keep squarish counters for consistency. Numerals are bold and graphic, with a particularly squared 0 and angular 2/3 that reinforce the engineered theme. The sample text shows strong word-shape contrast from the cut terminals, which can add character but also increases visual busyness at smaller sizes.
