A geometric sans built from straight strokes with frequent chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Letterforms feel modular and constructed, with consistent stroke weight and open, squared counters that often read as octagonal. Proportions are steady and regular, producing an even grid-like rhythm in text; joins stay clean and linear, with minimal optical tapering and a clear emphasis on hard angles over smooth transitions.
Works well for interface labels, HUD/overlay typography, dashboards, and technical documentation where consistent spacing and a mechanical voice are helpful. It also suits posters, titles, and branding that aim for a futuristic or industrial look, especially when set with ample tracking and strong contrast against simple backgrounds.
The overall tone is technical and engineered, evoking digital instrumentation, sci‑fi interfaces, and hardware labeling. Its faceted geometry lends a crisp, slightly retro-computing attitude while staying clear and functional at a glance.
The design appears intended to translate a polygonal, engineered form language into a practical text face, keeping a strict, repeatable construction while preserving legibility. By using faceted corners instead of curves, it emphasizes a digital/industrial aesthetic that remains orderly in continuous reading.
Rounded letters such as C, G, O, and S are rendered as polygonal outlines, giving the alphabet a cohesive “cut metal” or “machined” feel. Numerals follow the same construction, with octagonal bowls and sharp terminals that keep the texture uniform across mixed alphanumerics.
