A geometric, faceted sans with octagonal construction and consistent chamfered corners in place of curves. Strokes are heavy and largely monoline, producing a sturdy silhouette and strong color on the page. Counters tend toward squared, cut-out apertures, and joins often resolve into crisp diagonals that create a modular, engineered feel. Proportions are slightly condensed in many glyphs with a compact rhythm, while distinctive corner cuts and occasional notches give the forms a mechanical, assembled look.
Best suited to display settings where its strong geometry can carry identity: headlines, posters, title cards, packaging accents, and tech-leaning branding. It also works well for gaming/UI theming and signage-style compositions where a crisp, engineered voice is desired at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone reads technical and utilitarian, with a retro-digital edge reminiscent of arcade, sci‑fi, and industrial labeling aesthetics. Its sharp facets and blocky pacing convey decisiveness and structure rather than warmth or softness.
The font appears designed to translate rounded letterforms into a consistent faceted system, prioritizing bold presence and a coherent angular motif. Its construction suggests an intention to evoke digital-industrial culture while staying legible and highly graphic in short text and titles.
Diagonal corner cuts are used systematically across rounds and terminals, giving even simple shapes a multi-planar look. The design maintains clear differentiation in the alphanumerics through open, angular counters and straightforward, sign-like forms, emphasizing impact over subtlety.
