A geometric sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with faceted, near-octagonal constructions. Stems and horizontals keep a consistent thickness, producing a clean, even color in text. The proportions are roomy with broad letterforms and generous internal counters; round characters like O/C/G read as angular rings, while diagonals in A/V/W/X are sharply cut and mechanically regular. Terminals are flat and squared-off, and the overall rhythm is steady and grid-like, with punctuation and numerals matching the same faceted logic (notably the octagonal 0 and the angular 8/9).
Well-suited for interface labels, dashboards, and technical documentation where a strict, mechanical voice is desired. It also works effectively for sci‑fi or retro-tech posters, packaging, and logos that benefit from an angular, faceted silhouette, and for coding or tabular contexts where consistent alignment and spacing are important.
The faceted geometry gives the type a technical, engineered tone—suggesting hardware labels, digital readouts, and sci‑fi interface typography. Its consistent stroke behavior and angular contours feel modern and precise while also nodding to vintage vector/arcade aesthetics.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, faceted motif into a practical sans for systematic, grid-based typography. By standardizing chamfer angles and stroke widths, it aims for a cohesive, machine-made look that remains readable while staying overtly stylized.
In the text sample, the uniform construction maintains clarity at larger sizes and creates a distinctive texture through repeated chamfers. The design’s avoidance of true curves makes it especially characteristic in circular letters and bowls, where the planar cuts become a prominent stylistic signature.
