A heavy, geometric sans with octagonal construction and consistent chamfered corners that replace curves with flat facets. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing sturdy, compact counters (notably in O/0 and B) and a strongly mechanical rhythm. Proportions skew broad and stable, with squared terminals, straight-sided bowls, and crisp diagonals; the lowercase maintains a tall, sturdy silhouette with simplified forms and minimal differentiation. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with wide footprints and straight, planar joins for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display typography where the angular facets and weight can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, and product or tech-themed packaging. It also fits interface-style treatments in gaming or sci‑fi contexts, where bold, modular letterforms support quick recognition in short labels and titles.
The faceted geometry gives the face a futuristic, industrial tone—more machine-made than handwritten—suggesting sci‑fi interfaces, arcade hardware, and engineered products. Its blunt, high-impact shapes read as confident and utilitarian, with a slightly retro-digital flavor driven by the octagonal corners and compact apertures.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a hard-edged, planar system—substituting curves with chamfers to create a consistent octagonal vocabulary. The emphasis is on impact, clarity at large sizes, and a distinctly engineered, interface-forward personality.
At text sizes the tight apertures and squared internal spaces can feel dense, while at display sizes the planar detailing becomes a defining stylistic feature. The design keeps a consistent angle language across rounds and diagonals, helping headings and short lines feel uniform and purposeful.
