A condensed, angular sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp facets. Stems are monolinear with low contrast, and terminals often end in short, squared cuts that create an octagonal, sign-like silhouette. Counters are mostly rectangular or polygonal, with rounded forms (O, C, G, S) rendered as multi-sided shapes; the overall fit is relatively tight and vertical, with a steady, engineered rhythm. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, staying clean and legible with geometric, modular construction.
Best suited to display sizes where the faceted geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logotypes, and branding in tech, gaming, or industrial contexts. It can work for short UI labels or titling, but the sharp, compressed forms may feel busy for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The face communicates a technical, machine-made mood—precise, schematic, and slightly arcade-like. Its sharp chamfers and polygonal bowls give it a sci‑fi/industrial flavor without feeling ornamental, lending a confident, utilitarian tone.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a planar, chamfered system, evoking machined lettering and retro-digital signage. By standardizing strokes and corner cuts across letters and figures, it aims for a cohesive, constructed look that stays readable while emphasizing a distinctive angular voice.
Capitals read as compact and architectural, while lowercase maintains the same straight-edged vocabulary, producing a consistent texture in text. Diacritics in the sample appear as simple, squared dots, reinforcing the rigid, constructed character.
