An angular, monoline display face built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, producing octagonal bowls and squared-off curves. Stroke endings are clean and crisp with small diagonal cuts, and many counters feel engineered rather than drawn, giving letters a constructed, modular rhythm. The lowercase set mixes simple geometric forms with narrow stems and tall extenders, while figures echo the same faceted geometry for a consistent alphanumeric texture.
Best suited to display settings such as titles, posters, packaging, game interfaces, and themed event graphics where the angular construction can be a feature. It also works well for short blocks of copy, labels, and signage in tech, sci‑fi, or industrial contexts, especially at medium to large sizes where the chamfers and faceting stay clear.
The overall tone reads technical and futuristic, with a retro-digital edge that recalls arcade screens, instrument panels, and industrial labeling. The faceted corners and tight geometry add a slightly worn, utilitarian flavor, suggesting hard surfaces and fabricated signage rather than soft print typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a constructed, machine-made look by replacing curves with straight segments and consistent corner cuts. The goal seems to be a cohesive techno aesthetic across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a recognizable voice for themed graphics and interface-like typography.
Capital forms are assertive and structured, while the lowercase introduces a more eclectic, device-like personality that can feel intentionally quirky in running text. The repeated chamfer motif ties the design together and keeps spacing visually even despite the mix of open and closed shapes.
