An angular, chamfered sans with a strongly geometric skeleton and frequent 45° cut corners that create an octagonal rhythm in bowls and counters. Strokes are clean and sharp with visible contrast between dominant verticals and lighter diagonals and horizontals, giving the face a precise, engineered texture. Curves are minimized or faceted; round forms like O, Q, and 0 read as squared-off with clipped corners, while joins in letters such as M, N, V, and W form narrow, pointed vertices. Lowercase forms stay compact and structured, with simple, rectangular counters and short, straight terminals; the overall spacing reads even and disciplined, supporting tight, modular setting.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where its faceted geometry can read clearly. It also fits wayfinding, packaging callouts, and interface labels that want a precise, industrial voice. For paragraphs, it performs better at larger sizes with extra spacing to keep the angular texture from feeling congested.
The font conveys a technical, machine-made tone—part blueprint, scoreboard, or instrument-panel labeling—with a subtle retro-digital flavor. Its faceted construction and crisp corners feel utilitarian and purposeful, while the high-precision geometry lends a forward-looking, sci‑fi edge.
The design appears intended to translate a modular, machined aesthetic into a readable sans, using consistent chamfers and faceted curves to evoke technical lettering without becoming ornamental. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and a crisp, engineered rhythm for display and labeling contexts.
The design maintains a consistent chamfer motif across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, which helps unify mixed-case text. Numerals inherit the same faceted geometry, producing strong, sign-like figures that stay visually distinct at display sizes. In running text, the sharp vertices and narrow apertures create a dense, patterned color that benefits from moderate tracking and generous line spacing.
