A sharply faceted sans with chamfered corners and polygonal construction throughout. Strokes are largely monolinear with consistent thickness and squared terminals, replacing curves with straight segments that form octagonal counters and angled joins. Proportions lean geometric, with compact bowls and clear, open apertures; diagonals and notches create a crisp, engineered rhythm. Numerals echo the same faceted logic, with segmented shapes and angular turns that keep the set visually cohesive in both display and text sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, branding marks, and short UI labels where the faceted detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for posters, packaging accents, and on-screen graphics that benefit from a technical, futuristic voice; for long-form reading, it’s likely more effective as an accent typeface than a primary text face.
The overall tone feels technical and machine-made, evoking signage, sci‑fi interfaces, and retro arcade aesthetics. Its hard angles and clipped curves project precision and toughness, giving text a futuristic, industrial edge without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a planar, cut-metal language—keeping familiar skeletons while systematically replacing curves with chamfers. The goal seems to be a contemporary, tech-forward texture that remains broadly legible while delivering a distinctive angular signature.
Distinctive letterforms rely on consistent corner cuts, which increases character at larger sizes and creates a patterned texture in paragraphs. The faceting is systematic enough to read as a design feature rather than roughness, though the many angles can make dense text feel busy compared with more conventional grotesques.
