A geometric sans with squared, chamfered corners that create an octagonal, machined silhouette. Strokes are generally even with subtle contrast at joins and curves, and terminals are cleanly cut rather than rounded. Counters lean rectangular and slightly condensed in feel, while curves in letters like C, G, and S are built from faceted segments instead of smooth arcs. The lowercase is compact with simple, engineered forms; the single-storey a and g keep the same angular logic, and numerals share the same clipped-corner construction for a consistent rhythm.
Works well for UI labels, dashboards, and product interfaces where a technical voice is desired, and for tech or gaming branding that benefits from a retro-futuristic edge. The strong, faceted shapes also suit short headlines, posters, and wayfinding-style signage, especially at medium to large sizes where the chamfered details remain crisp.
The overall tone is technical and industrial, evoking instrumentation, sci‑fi interfaces, and hardware labeling. Its faceted geometry reads as retro-futuristic and systematic, with a no-nonsense clarity that feels designed for screens, devices, and signage rather than calligraphic warmth.
Likely designed to translate a mechanical, fabricated aesthetic into a readable sans: consistent stroke logic, clipped corners, and simplified curves that suggest precision and modern industry. The aim appears to be a distinctive display texture that still holds together in longer lines of text.
Distinctive chamfers at outer corners and in-bow curves give the face a modular, constructed look, helping letters maintain consistent texture in both uppercase and lowercase. The punctuation and dots appear simple and functional, reinforcing a schematic, interface-like personality.
