A geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers and short diagonal facets. Strokes are monoline with consistent terminals, producing an octagonal, mechanical rhythm across both cases. Counters tend toward squarish or rounded-rectangle shapes, and many glyphs show small angled cut-ins at joins, giving letters a segmented, constructed feel. Lowercase forms are simplified and sturdy, with clear dots on i/j and compact, blocky bowls; numerals follow the same faceted logic with sharp turns and squared apertures.
Best suited for display typography where the faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, logos, posters, game/UI titling, and tech or industrial branding. It can also work for short blocks of text in interfaces or packaging where a crisp, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone is technical and sci‑fi, evoking digital displays, arcade graphics, and industrial labeling. Its sharp geometry reads purposeful and engineered rather than friendly or calligraphic, projecting a clean, modern edge.
The design appears intended to translate a futuristic, planar aesthetic into a practical sans alphabet, using consistent chamfers to suggest precision-machined forms while retaining familiar proportions for legibility.
The facet treatment is applied consistently across rounds (C/G/O/Q, 0/6/8/9), keeping silhouettes recognizable while emphasizing an angular scaffold. The font maintains strong presence at larger sizes where the chamfers become a defining texture, and it keeps a steady baseline/ capline discipline that supports structured layouts.
