A sharply faceted geometric sans with octagonal construction and clipped corners throughout. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with squared terminals, minimal modulation, and a generally boxy rhythm. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and many curved forms are resolved into planar segments, producing crisp, mechanical silhouettes. The lowercase maintains a tall x-height and simple, almost unicase-like structure in several letters, while numerals and capitals share the same hard-edged, modular logic.
Performs best in display contexts where its faceted geometry can be read at size: headlines, posters, branding marks, esports or gaming titles, and UI labels for tech-themed products. It can also work for short blocks of copy in interface mockups, but the dense counters and hard corners suggest using comfortable sizes and spacing for longer text.
The font reads as technical and machine-made, with a retro-digital edge that feels suited to sci‑fi interfaces and industrial labeling. Its angular facets and dense shapes convey strength, precision, and a utilitarian, engineered tone rather than warmth or elegance.
The design appears intended to translate a rectilinear grid into a distinctive, cut-corner alphabet that preserves sans-serif simplicity while replacing curves with planar facets. The goal seems to be a robust, high-impact face with a technical personality that remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Diagonal joins are used sparingly and with restraint, so most letterforms stay rectilinear and grid-friendly; where diagonals appear (e.g., in K, V, W, X, Y, and 7), they reinforce the faceted, cut-metal impression. Spacing and proportions are optimized for impactful display use, with tight internal space in letters like B, 8, and 9 and generous outer presence for strong word shapes.
