This typeface is built from straight strokes with consistent thickness and frequent chamfered corners, creating octagonal, faceted counters in rounds like O and C. Terminals are clean and squared-off, and diagonals appear selectively where needed (e.g., in K, V, W, X), keeping the overall construction crisp and geometric. The rhythm is steady and mechanical, with a slightly squared, extended silhouette in caps and compact, simplified lowercase forms that echo the same hard-edged geometry. Numerals follow the same planar logic, producing a uniform, display-oriented texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and poster work where angular geometry can carry the visual identity. It can also work for UI display labels, dashboards, and game or tech-themed graphics, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the faceting is clearly visible.
The face projects a distinctly technological, sci‑fi tone—precise, engineered, and a bit arcade-like. Its sharp facets and rectilinear construction evoke digital hardware, interfaces, and futuristic signage rather than organic or editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to translate sans-serif letterforms into a faceted, planar system that replaces curves with chamfered segments. This yields a consistent, engineered look aimed at contemporary tech and sci‑fi aesthetics, prioritizing distinctive silhouette and stylistic cohesion over traditional text neutrality.
Curved letters are consistently “flattened” into short segments, so bowls and arches read as multi-sided shapes rather than true curves. The design maintains a cohesive, modular feel across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, supporting strong visual branding where an angular, constructed voice is desired.
