A faceted geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers and octagonal counters. Strokes are essentially monolinear, with squared terminals and frequent diagonal cuts that create a consistent planar rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase is compact and highly structured, with single-storey forms and rectangular bowls; counters tend to read as rounded-rectangle or octagon shapes rather than circles. Overall spacing and widths feel pragmatic and display-leaning, with sturdy joins and a distinctly engineered silhouette.
Works well for headlines, titles, and short blocks of text where a technical, geometric voice is desired. It suits branding for technology, gaming, tools, and electronics, as well as packaging and label-style typography. In digital products it can serve as a display face for UI headings, dashboards, and interface callouts where a futuristic aesthetic is appropriate.
The sharp facets and modular construction suggest a techno, industrial mood—clean, utilitarian, and slightly game-like. Its geometry evokes sci‑fi interfaces, machinery labeling, and retro-futurist signage, projecting precision and efficiency more than warmth or tradition.
The design appears intended to translate a strict geometric grid into an all-purpose sans with a distinctive faceted twist—delivering a strong, modern voice while keeping letterforms systematic and consistent across the set.
Legibility is strongest at medium-to-large sizes where the corner cuts and tight interior apertures remain clear; at small sizes, the faceting and narrow openings in letters like a/e/s may visually fill in. The numerals and capitals maintain the same chamfer logic, giving mixed-case text a unified, systemized texture.
