A slanted, monoline display face built from hard-edged geometry, replacing curves with chamfered corners and planar facets. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness, with flat terminals and frequent 45° cuts that create octagonal counters and clipped joins. The rhythm is steady and grid-driven, and the monospaced set width gives text a mechanical, evenly spaced texture. Uppercase forms feel compact and blocky, while the lowercase echoes the same faceted construction with simplified bowls and straightened shoulders.
Best suited for display settings where its faceted construction can be appreciated—posters, titles, branding marks, product labels, and game or interface graphics that benefit from a retro-mechanical voice. It can work for short blocks of copy when a rigid, technical texture is desired, but the strong angularity and tight interior shapes favor moderate sizes and clear contrast.
The overall tone is industrial and techno, evoking machine labeling, arcade-era digital graphics, and utilitarian signage. Its sharp angles and forward slant add urgency and motion, while the uniform spacing reads as deliberate and engineered.
The design appears intended to translate italic, sans letterforms into a consistently faceted system, prioritizing uniform stroke weight, engineered spacing, and a hard-edged silhouette. The goal reads as a distinctive, grid-compatible display style that feels manufactured and motion-oriented rather than calligraphic.
Counters tend to be polygonal rather than circular, and many glyphs show deliberate notch-like cuts that suggest a fabricated, cut-metal aesthetic. In longer passages the consistent set width produces strong vertical alignment and a distinctive, patterned “typewriter-meets-tech” color.
