An angular, monoline sans with a distinctly modular construction. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness and favor straight segments with clipped, chamfered corners, producing octagonal counters and squared curves throughout. Proportions feel compact and slightly condensed in the round forms, with a steady rhythm and clear separation between characters; joins are crisp, and terminals often end in flat cuts or subtle notches. Numerals and capitals share the same faceted geometry, creating a coherent, engineered texture in text settings.
Works best for headlines and short copy where its angular construction can be appreciated—such as tech branding, product names, packaging, and poster titling. It can also suit UI-style labels, wayfinding-inspired graphics, and sci‑fi or industrial themed projects that benefit from a modular, engineered texture.
The faceted outlines and mechanical rhythm give the font a techy, industrial tone with a subtle retro-digital flavor. Its geometry reads as purposeful and utilitarian rather than friendly, evoking signage, machinery labeling, and sci‑fi interface lettering.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, cut-corner system into a practical sans for display use, balancing legibility with a distinctive faceted personality. It prioritizes consistent stroke logic and repeatable shapes to create a cohesive, constructed look across letters and figures.
Diagonal strokes are clean and consistent, and many traditionally curved letters are rendered as multi-segment polygons, which strengthens the pixel-adjacent, constructed feel. The overall impression is sturdy and legible at display sizes, where the chamfers and notches become part of the visual identity.
