A geometric, modular sans built from straight strokes and crisp angles, with frequent 45° cuts that create octagonal corners and a distinctly “plotted” feel. Curves are largely avoided in favor of squared bowls and faceted joins, producing open counters and a clean, high-contrast silhouette against the page. Proportions are compact and fairly uniform, with simple, schematic construction in letters like C, S, and G and squared forms in O, D, and 0. The numerals and capitals share the same rectilinear logic, while the lowercase keeps a similarly technical structure with single-storey shapes and minimal terminals.
Best suited for short-form display typography where its angular construction can read clearly: interface labels, game/sci‑fi UI, tech branding, posters, and headline treatments. It also works well for numeric readouts and compact titling where a crisp, engineered look is desired.
The overall tone reads technical and futuristic, evoking digital displays, sci‑fi interfaces, and retro computer aesthetics. Its disciplined geometry and sharp cornering convey precision and a slightly industrial character rather than softness or friendliness.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a strict geometric system into a recognizable sans, prioritizing a cohesive faceted motif over traditional curve-led humanist proportions. The aim seems to be a distinctive, tech-leaning display voice that remains legible while emphasizing an angular, digital aesthetic.
The design’s repeated chamfers and squared counters create a consistent rhythm and strong alignment in all-caps settings. The simplified, angular treatment of traditionally curved glyphs gives the face a distinctive identity, especially noticeable in S, G, and the diagonal-driven forms (K, M, N, V, W, X).
