A geometric sans built from straight strokes with chamfered, faceted corners that stand in for curves. The line weight is even and monolinear, with a boxy, octagonal construction visible throughout bowls and counters. Terminals are blunt and angled, joins are crisp, and the overall rhythm feels modular, as if drawn on a technical grid. Lowercase forms remain fairly geometric and open, and figures follow the same segmented, angular logic for consistent texture in mixed settings.
Best suited to display typography where its faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, title cards, branding marks, packaging, and poster work. It also fits short UI labels and interface-style graphics when a technical, futuristic mood is desired, while extended body copy may feel busy due to the constant cornering and segmented curves.
The faceted geometry and segmented curves give the type a distinctly digital, sci‑fi tone, evoking instrument panels, retro-future interfaces, and engineered hardware. Its sharp corners and technical regularity read as precise and machine-made rather than casual or humanist.
The design appears intended to translate familiar sans-serif proportions into a faceted, planar system, replacing curves with angled segments to create a futuristic, engineered voice. It prioritizes a consistent modular aesthetic across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals for cohesive use in tech-forward graphic environments.
Round letters like C, O, and S are rendered as multi-sided shapes, which increases the mechanical feel and creates a distinctive sparkle at corners. Diagonals and notches (notably in forms like K and Y) introduce a slightly schematic, constructed character that stands out at display sizes.
