A geometric sans with squared forms and consistently rounded outer corners, giving many letters an octagonal silhouette. Strokes are uniform in thickness and rely on straight segments with short chamfer-like turns rather than continuous curves, producing a crisp, modular rhythm. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, with simplified joins and occasional open apertures that keep shapes from feeling fully enclosed. Numerals and capitals feel sturdy and engineered, while the lowercase maintains clear, straightforward constructions with minimal contrast and a slightly technical, drawn-with-a-tool character.
Works best for display typography where its angular, rounded-corner geometry can read as intentional and characterful—headlines, branding marks, packaging, and posters. It also fits interface labels, dashboards, and wayfinding or equipment-style signage where a clean, engineered look is desirable.
The overall tone is tech-forward and mildly retro, evoking digital displays, arcade-era interfaces, and utilitarian labeling. Rounded corners soften the strict geometry, adding an approachable, playful edge while preserving a precise, mechanical feel.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, modular sans with a recognizable octagonal signature, balancing strict geometry with softened terminals for friendlier readability. Its simplified forms suggest an aim for clarity and consistency across letters and numbers while maintaining a strong, tech-leaning personality.
The design emphasizes corners and facets over curves, which creates strong identity at larger sizes and a distinctive texture in text settings. Diacritics are not shown; the sample demonstrates a consistent, systematic build across letters and numerals.
