A rectilinear sans with a modular, cornered construction and consistent single-stroke outlines. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments and clipped corners, giving bowls and counters a squared, octagonal feel (notably in C, G, O, and 0). Terminals are crisp and flat, with frequent right-angle joins and occasional diagonal facets that soften corners without becoming rounded. Proportions feel condensed overall, with compact counters and a slightly mechanical rhythm across words; lowercase forms echo the same geometry, with simple, boxy bowls and a single-storey a.
Best suited to display roles where its angular geometry can be appreciated: headlines, posters, branding marks, and short UI or product labels. It can also work for wayfinding or environmental graphics when a technical, constructed look is desired, while long body copy may feel visually insistent due to the dense, cornered texture.
The font projects a technical, engineered tone—clean, schematic, and slightly sci‑fi—tempered by a retro digital flavor. Its faceted corners and uniform stroke treatment suggest instrumentation, interfaces, and constructed signage rather than organic handwriting or editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, drafted aesthetic into a readable sans, using straight segments and chamfered corners to evoke digital/industrial styling while keeping consistent proportions and spacing for practical titling.
Distinctive, easily recognizable silhouettes come from the consistent corner-cut motif and squared bowls. Numerals follow the same angular system (notably the boxed 0 and faceted 8), reinforcing a cohesive, display-oriented texture in strings of numbers and short labels.
