A geometric sans with a monoline skeleton and consistent stroke thickness. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments and chamfered corners, producing octagonal counters and faceted bowls (notably in O, C, G, and 0). Terminals tend to be blunt with frequent diagonal cuts, and the overall construction favors modular, grid-like geometry with crisp joins and clear interior space. Proportions are fairly compact with steady cap height and a straightforward, low-contrast rhythm suited to all-caps and mixed-case setting.
Works well for interface labels, control-panel style graphics, product markings, and technical or industrial branding where angular clarity is desired. It also suits posters, titles, and headings that benefit from a futuristic or engineered voice, and can hold up in short-to-medium text when a distinctive geometric texture is acceptable.
The faceted, chamfered construction conveys a technical and engineered tone, reminiscent of digital interfaces, labelling systems, and sci‑fi display typography. Its sharp geometry reads as modern and machine-made, with a subtle retro-computer flavor in continuous text.
The design appears intended to translate rounded sans structures into a faceted, planar system, prioritizing crisp construction and consistent geometry. The chamfered corners and octagonal counters suggest a goal of creating a robust, tech-forward display style that remains legible and systematic across letters and numerals.
Distinctive details include an octagonal zero with an internal diagonal slash and similarly faceted numerals that feel designed for quick differentiation. The lowercase maintains the same angular logic, with single-storey forms and squared-off shoulders that keep the texture even and mechanical. In longer lines, the repeated chamfers create a rhythmic, pixel-adjacent sparkle without becoming jagged.
