A faceted geometric sans with uniform stroke weight and rounded stroke ends. Curves are consistently replaced by short straight segments, producing octagonal bowls and chamfered corners across rounds like C, O, and G. Counters are open and fairly generous for the width, while terminals often finish flat or softly rounded, giving a clean, engineered outline. The rhythm is compact and controlled, with simple, constructed forms and crisp joins that read clearly at display sizes and hold together in text with a distinctive polygonal texture.
Well-suited for interface labeling, dashboards, and product or equipment graphics where a technical mood is desired. It also works effectively for posters, headlines, and branding in sci‑fi or industrial contexts, especially when set with ample tracking to emphasize its faceted structure.
The overall tone feels technical and futuristic, with an industrial, schematic flavor that suggests precision and fabrication. Its chamfered geometry evokes digital interfaces and machine labeling, while the softened terminals keep it from feeling harsh or aggressive.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, chamfered construction into a practical sans for modern settings—prioritizing a consistent modular language and a distinctive angular silhouette while keeping forms clean and readable.
Distinctive octagonal construction is especially evident in the numerals and round letters, and the lowercase maintains the same modular logic as the caps. The design leans toward a measured, utilitarian voice rather than expressive calligraphy, creating a consistent, system-like appearance across lines of text.
