This typeface is built from straight strokes and crisp corners, replacing curves with planar, faceted segments. Terminals are mostly squared-off with occasional angled cuts, giving letters a chiseled, polygonal look. The rhythm is steady and uniform, with consistent stroke thickness and a slightly slanted, forward-leaning structure that reads like a drawn technical hand rather than a rigid geometric construction. Counters tend to be open and angular, and round forms (like O/0) resolve into multi-sided shapes, reinforcing the geometric, cut-from-lines character.
It’s well suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, logos, and branding where an angular, faceted voice is desirable. The consistent spacing and technical, drawn feel also make it a good fit for game UI labels, sci‑fi/interface graphics, product naming, and short bursts of on-screen text where character is more important than neutrality.
The overall tone feels futuristic and tech-adjacent, like signage from a low-poly sci‑fi interface or a hand-drafted schematic. Its irregular, marker-like edges add a casual, homemade energy that keeps it from feeling sterile, making it both playful and slightly industrial.
The design appears intended to translate a hand-drawn, forward-leaning sans into a faceted, polygonal system—evoking cut metal, low-poly geometry, or vector-drafted lettering. The goal seems to be a distinctive sci‑tech flavor while retaining straightforward, legible skeletons for common Latin letters and numerals.
Distinctive polygonal bowls and joints create strong letterform individuality, especially in characters like O/Q/0 and the diagonals in K/R/X. At smaller sizes the faceting and sharp joins become the primary identifying feature, so it tends to read best when given enough size and spacing for the angular details to resolve cleanly.
