A geometric, faceted sans with an octagonal construction language: curves are replaced by short straight segments, producing chamfered corners and planar bowls. Strokes keep a consistent thickness, with squared terminals softened by small radius rounding. Proportions are compact and grid-aligned, giving letters a steady rhythm and even color across lines; counters tend to be rectangular-to-octagonal with deliberate corner cuts. Numerals and capitals echo the same hard-edged geometry, and the overall spacing reads tightly controlled and uniform.
Well-suited to interface labels, dashboards, and technical graphics where consistent spacing and a crisp, constructed silhouette help scanning. It also works for sci‑fi or industrial branding, product markings, posters, and packaging that benefit from a geometric, faceted look. In longer text it maintains an even texture, with the strongest impact at small-to-medium sizes where the modular rhythm reads clearly.
The font conveys a technical, engineered tone—clean, methodical, and slightly futuristic—while its faceted shapes also evoke retro digital and instrumentation aesthetics. It feels functional and deliberate rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate a polygonal, machined aesthetic into a practical text face—maintaining strict geometry and repeatable angles while keeping forms open enough for everyday labeling and display copy.
Distinctive angular joins on diagonals (notably in A, V, W, X, Y) and clipped bowls (C, G, O, Q, e, o) reinforce a consistent polygonal motif. The lowercase includes simple, single-storey forms with a plain, constructed feel, supporting a straightforward, system-like voice in continuous text.
