A geometric display sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with faceted, octagonal turns. The letterforms are broad with large internal counters and a sturdy, blocky color, while joins and terminals stay consistently squared and beveled for a clean, engineered rhythm. Diagonals in forms like K, N, V, W, X, and Y are sharply cut and uniform, and round shapes (O, C, G, Q, 0) read as flattened polygons rather than circles. Numerals and lowercase follow the same modular construction, with simplified details and open apertures that keep shapes distinct at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings where its angular construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, product branding, esports and tech identities, packaging, and UI titling for games or tools. It also works well for short bursts of copy such as labels, wayfinding, and on-screen overlays where strong silhouettes and consistent geometry help maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels machine-made and performance-oriented—more sci‑fi interface than editorial. Its faceted geometry suggests speed, hardware, and digital systems, giving text a confident, assertive presence that reads as contemporary and game-adjacent.
This design appears intended to translate a modular, faceted geometry into an all-purpose display sans—delivering a sharp, technical voice while keeping letterforms simple and repeatable across the set.
Horizontal strokes tend to read as strong bars, giving E/F/T and similar structures a clear, signlike silhouette. The face maintains a consistent facet language across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive set that emphasizes shape over calligraphic nuance.
