A faceted, geometric sans with octagonal construction and clipped corners throughout. Strokes are largely monoline and built from straight segments, substituting curves with angled facets, which creates crisp terminals and a machined edge. Proportions are compact and vertically oriented with a tall x-height, and the overall rhythm is steady, though individual letters show practical width variation for legibility. Counters tend toward squared/rectilinear shapes, and joins are clean and consistently planar.
Best suited to display applications where the faceted geometry can read clearly—headlines, posters, logos, and tech-leaning branding. It can also work well for interface labels, product marking, packaging, and wayfinding-style copy when set with generous spacing and moderate line lengths.
The tone reads technical and engineered, evoking digital instrumentation, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its sharp geometry feels efficient and modern, with a subtle retro-electronic flavor reminiscent of segmented or display-inspired lettering without being strictly monospaced or grid-bound.
The design appears intended to deliver a consistent, planar alternative to rounded geometric sans forms, emphasizing sharp facets and clipped corners to suggest precision and technology. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and repeatable construction across the alphabet and numerals for cohesive, attention-grabbing typography.
Distinctive angular features appear in both uppercase and lowercase, keeping the system cohesive; round forms like O/0 and G/C are rendered as multi-sided outlines, while diagonals in characters such as K, X, and Z maintain the same chamfered logic. The numerals follow the same faceting, yielding a consistent, sign-like set that remains clear at display sizes.
