A faceted, geometric sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar angles. Letterforms sit on a sturdy baseline with squared shoulders and consistent stroke thickness, producing a clean, engineered texture. Counters are mostly rectangular or octagonal, with tight internal space in round letters like O and 8, and diagonals are treated as clipped facets rather than smooth joins. The lowercase follows the same modular construction as the caps, with single-storey a and g and a short, functional t and f that keep the silhouette compact and mechanical.
Best suited to large sizes where the faceted construction and angular counters can read clearly—titles, posters, packaging callouts, esports/gaming graphics, and technology-oriented branding. It can work for short UI headings or labels when a hard-edged, futuristic voice is desired, but the tight counters suggest avoiding long body text.
The overall tone reads futuristic and technical, with a utilitarian, machine-made flavor. Its sharp cuts and polygonal rounds evoke digital interfaces, arcade titles, and industrial labeling rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to translate a modular, cut-corner geometry into a readable sans for attention-grabbing display use. By standardizing stroke weight and substituting curves with facets, it aims for a consistent, techno-industrial aesthetic that stays cohesive across letters and numerals.
Rhythm is driven by wide set proportions and firm, squared terminals, creating a strong horizontal emphasis in text. Distinctive notches and angled joins in letters like S, G, K, and R add a purposeful, engineered character, while numerals maintain the same octagonal logic for a cohesive system.
