A geometric sans built from straight strokes and faceted corners, replacing curves with chamfered, octagonal turns. Strokes are monoline and crisp, with mostly flat terminals and consistent corner cuts that create a mechanical, paneled look. Counters tend toward rounded-rectangle/octagon shapes, and the overall silhouette reads wide and stable, with a high x-height and compact ascenders/descenders in the lowercase. The construction feels modular and grid-aligned, with squared bowls and angular joins that keep texture even across lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where its angular detailing can read clearly: headlines, posters, branding marks, game titles, and interface/UI labels. It can also work for short blocks of copy in tech-oriented layouts, though the strong faceting will remain a dominant stylistic voice.
The faceted geometry gives a distinctly sci‑fi and industrial tone, evoking machine interfaces, arcade lettering, and retro-future hardware aesthetics. Its hard edges and disciplined repetition feel technical and controlled rather than organic, projecting a utilitarian, engineered personality.
The design appears intended to translate a strict geometric system into a readable sans, using consistent corner chamfers to suggest precision-cut forms. It prioritizes a cohesive, techno-industrial texture and strong silhouettes for modern display typography.
The uppercase set appears especially architectural, with polygonal bowls and clipped corners that remain consistent from letter to letter. Lowercase forms mirror the same construction, maintaining the same chamfer logic in apertures and joints, which helps the type keep a coherent rhythm in running text.
