A compact, geometric sans with crisp, planar facets replacing curves throughout. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with squared terminals and chamfered corners that create an octagonal rhythm in bowls and counters. The proportions are condensed with tall capitals, a steady baseline, and tight internal apertures; diagonals are used sparingly and rendered as straight segments rather than smooth joins. Numerals and lowercase follow the same hard-edged construction, giving the design a consistent, modular texture in text.
Works best for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging callouts, and wayfinding where the angular construction becomes a recognizable motif. It also suits UI/tech theming and game-related graphics, while longer paragraphs benefit from generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The face reads as technical and machine-made, with a retro digital/arcade edge. Its sharp, cut-metal geometry and blocky silhouettes suggest utilitarian signage and sci‑fi interfaces rather than editorial warmth.
Likely designed to translate a neutral sans skeleton into a faceted, hard-cornered system that feels engineered and contemporary-retro. The goal appears to be strong identity and uniform texture, prioritizing geometric consistency and an interface-like tone.
Distinctive chamfers at corners and junctions create a segmented outline that stays consistent from large display sizes down into running sample lines. The heavy weight and tight counters can darken quickly in dense settings, emphasizing pattern over fine detail.
