A faceted, angular sans with planar corners and clipped curves that read as octagonal geometry. Strokes stay mostly even, with sharp terminals and tight joins that create a crisp, engineered rhythm. Counters are compact and squared-off, and the numerals and capitals maintain a rigid, modular feel while the lowercase introduces slightly narrower, more utilitarian forms. Overall spacing appears straightforward and functional, emphasizing clean silhouettes and consistent edge treatment over roundness.
Best used for display settings where the faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and event graphics. It also fits technology and gaming contexts such as UI labels, sci‑fi interfaces, and product naming, where a sharp, engineered texture supports the message.
The tone feels technical and machine-made, with a retro-futurist, arcade-like edge. Its chiseled corners and hard stops suggest precision and circuitry rather than warmth, producing a confident, synthetic voice suited to modern digital aesthetics.
The design appears intended to translate a conventional sans skeleton into a sharp, polygonal system that evokes mechanical precision and digital culture. By replacing smooth curves with clipped planes, it aims for a distinctive, high-impact voice while retaining familiar letter structures.
The faceting is applied consistently across straight and curved letters, giving bowls and rounds a disciplined, polygonal profile. Distinctive angled cuts and squared counters help letters and numerals stay recognizable while reinforcing the geometric theme.
