A geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, giving most curves an octagonal, faceted feel. Strokes are monoline and end in squared terminals with small radiused corners, producing a clean, machined edge rather than soft rounding. Counters tend to be rectangular with chamfered corners, and many letters rely on open apertures and segmented bowls (notably in E, S, and numerals) for a modular rhythm. The overall proportions read extended, with generous horizontal emphasis and consistent, gridlike construction across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display sizes where the chamfered corners and segmented strokes can read clearly—headlines, branding marks, packaging, and poster typography. It also fits UI accents, dashboards, and game/tech visuals where a precise, futuristic voice is desired. For dense body copy, the stylized apertures and geometric counters may feel busy at small sizes, so it performs strongest in short bursts of text.
The faceted geometry and engineered spacing evoke digital interfaces, hardware labeling, and retro-futurist sci‑fi typography. Its crisp, planar construction feels precise and technical, with an assertive, utilitarian tone that suggests control panels and industrial design.
The design appears intended to translate a rectilinear grid into a readable sans, replacing conventional curves with planar facets while keeping letterforms familiar. The consistent modular construction suggests an aim for a cohesive, system-like alphabet that communicates technology and engineered precision.
Distinctive details include a squared, open G with an internal bar; a sharply notched V and W built from angled joins; and a slashed zero that clearly separates it from O. Lowercase forms remain highly geometric, with single-storey a and g and a simplified, angular s that maintains the segmented motif. The dot on i/j is a small square, reinforcing the pixel-like, modular aesthetic.
