A geometric, monoline sans built from straight segments with clipped corners, creating octagonal counters and faceted outer curves. Strokes remain consistent with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly blunt or slightly chamfered, reinforcing a constructed, modular feel. The forms are squarish and open, with generous apertures and rounded-rectangle bowls; diagonals are crisp and symmetrical, and the figures follow the same planar logic for a cohesive alphanumeric texture.
This font suits interface labels, dashboards, and product branding where a modern, technical voice is desired. It also works well for short headlines, posters, and environmental graphics that benefit from a geometric, faceted silhouette. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at medium-to-large sizes where the angular details remain crisp.
The overall tone feels futuristic and instrument-like, evoking UI lettering, sci‑fi titling, and engineered signage. Its faceted rounding reads precise rather than friendly, with a clean, synthetic rhythm that suggests technology and motion.
The design appears intended to translate rounded geometric sans forms into a faceted, planar system, preserving clarity while emphasizing a machined, contemporary aesthetic. The consistent chamfers and squared counters suggest a goal of creating a distinctive sci‑fi/industrial texture without resorting to decorative elements.
Distinctive chamfering is applied consistently across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving the font a recognizable “cut metal” silhouette even at smaller sizes. The sample text shows even spacing and a steady baseline, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (notably the angular diagonals and squared bowls).
