A geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with short planar facets. Forms lean toward squarish, octagonal bowls with consistent stroke thickness and crisp terminals, producing a sturdy, engineered silhouette. Counters are fairly open and rectangular, with simplified diagonals and compact joins that keep letterforms rigid and grid-friendly. Overall spacing and proportions read as deliberately uniform, emphasizing a measured, systematic rhythm in text.
Best suited to interface labels, dashboards, and technical diagrams where a compact, high-structure letterform supports quick scanning. Its bold, angular presence also works well in posters, product packaging, and signage that benefits from a mechanical, retro-tech voice.
The faceted construction and hard corners give the typeface a technical, machine-made tone with a distinctly retro-digital flavor. It feels pragmatic and instrument-like, evoking labeling, terminals, and pixel-adjacent display aesthetics while staying clean and controlled.
The design appears intended to translate rounded sans forms into a faceted, straight-line system that stays consistent across the alphabet and numerals. The emphasis is on clarity and visual regularity, pairing a utilitarian reading experience with a distinctive, geometric edge.
Uppercase shapes are especially architectural, with chamfered corners on letters like C, G, O, and Q that create a consistent octagonal motif. Lowercase maintains the same straight-edge logic, keeping curves minimal and reinforcing a coherent, modular look across letters and numerals.
