A geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with short chamfered facets. Strokes maintain an even thickness throughout, with rounded stroke ends used sparingly and most terminals cut flat. Counters tend toward octagonal/rectilinear shapes (notably in O/0/8), and diagonals are crisp and mechanical, giving letters a constructed, modular feel. The lowercase is compact and schematic, with single-storey forms and squared bowls; overall spacing and rhythm read as measured and grid-friendly.
Well-suited to interface labels, schematics, dashboards, and other contexts that benefit from a disciplined, technical voice. It also works effectively for headlines, posters, and packaging where its angular, faceted character can carry a strong visual identity.
The faceted construction and strict geometry evoke a technical, engineered tone—somewhere between instrument labeling and retro digital aesthetics. It feels pragmatic and system-oriented, with a subtle sci‑fi/arcade flavor coming from the octagonal curves and uniform rhythm.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a geometric grid into a readable sans by systematically chamfering corners and minimizing true curves. The consistent stroke logic and octagonal counters suggest an intention to feel engineered and contemporary while nodding to retro digital and industrial typography.
Distinctive octagonal rounds show up across both letters and numerals, helping maintain consistency at display sizes and in interface-like settings. The design favors clarity through simplified, planar shapes, though the angular joins and tight apertures can make small-size text feel busy compared with softer grotesques.
