A geometric, faceted sans with octagonal construction: curves are replaced by crisp chamfers and straight segments, producing squared bowls and clipped terminals. Strokes keep a consistent thickness with clear right angles and diagonal joins, creating a modular rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures. Proportions are compact and evenly metered, with generous internal counters and simplified forms that stay clean at small sizes. Numerals and letters share the same hard-edged logic, giving the set a cohesive, engineered look.
Works well for interface labels, dashboards, and data-heavy layouts where consistent character widths help alignment. It also suits technical documentation, equipment labeling, wayfinding, and branding contexts that benefit from a crisp, engineered voice. For display use, it can add a distinct retro-tech flavor to posters and product packaging.
The overall tone feels technical and instrument-like—clean, controlled, and slightly retro-futurist. Its angular facets suggest machinery, electronics, and utilitarian labeling, while the steady cadence evokes code, terminals, and schematic diagrams.
The design appears intended to translate a strict, grid-based geometry into an approachable sans, substituting curves with planar facets for a distinctive, mechanical silhouette. Its consistent construction and steady spacing suggest an emphasis on clarity, repeatability, and layout discipline.
Corner chamfers are applied consistently, including on rounded letters and several diagonals, which reinforces the font’s polygonal identity. The spacing reads as disciplined and grid-friendly, supporting tidy columns and tabular-looking text blocks.
