A geometric sans with chamfered corners and faceted, near-octagonal curves that replace rounds with short straight segments. Strokes are consistent in thickness with squared terminals and a crisp, engineered outline. Proportions are compact and regular, with wide apertures and simplified counters; letters like O/Q/0 read as multi-sided forms, and diagonals (A, V, W, Y, X) are clean and high-contrast against the straight stems. The lowercase follows the same modular logic, keeping single-storey forms and squared punctuation-like details for a cohesive, systematized texture in text.
Well-suited for UI labels, dashboards, product markings, and technical or industrial signage where a crisp, modular look is desirable. It can also work for short headlines, posters, and branding in futuristic or retro-tech themes, and for code-like or tabular settings where uniform character spacing supports alignment.
The overall tone is technical and instrument-like, evoking labeling, interfaces, and machine markings. Its angular facets and disciplined rhythm give it a slightly sci-fi, retro-digital flavor while remaining straightforward and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to translate a sans skeleton into a faceted, machined geometry, preserving clarity while emphasizing angular construction. Its consistent corner treatments and simplified forms suggest a goal of creating a distinctive technical voice that stays orderly in both single words and continuous text.
The faceting is applied consistently across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving curved glyphs a distinctive polygonal silhouette. Numerals are especially emblematic, with 0 rendered as an octagonal loop and other digits built from straight segments and clipped corners, reinforcing a schematic, grid-friendly aesthetic.
