A geometric sans with octagonal, faceted construction that replaces curves with crisp chamfers and straight segments. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, with squared terminals and frequent cut corners that create a machined, panel-like silhouette. Counters tend toward rectangular or rounded-rectangle forms; the O/0 read as a chamfered box, and many joins are sharply notched for a modular feel. The overall proportions are expansive and stable, with low contrast, compact apertures, and a rhythm that favors blocky horizontals and firm right angles.
Well-suited for game interfaces, esports or tech branding, and sci‑fi themed posters where a mechanical, faceted voice is desired. It also works for punchy headlines, packaging accents, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a rigid, modular geometry rather than conventional humanist warmth.
The face projects a synthetic, engineered tone—reminiscent of interface lettering, sci‑fi titling, and arcade-era display graphics. Its sharp facets and sturdy presence feel utilitarian and high-tech, leaning more mechanical than friendly.
The design appears intended to translate a digital-industrial aesthetic into a sturdy display sans, using chamfered geometry and uniform weight to suggest fabricated hardware and screen-native lettering. The consistent angular system prioritizes impact and stylistic coherence across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Legibility is strongest at display sizes where the internal notches and chamfers remain distinct; at smaller sizes the tight apertures and dense counters can visually thicken. Numerals and capitals share the same hard-edged language, giving mixed text a cohesive, system-like texture.
