A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with chamfered, faceted joins. Forms read as wide and squared, with consistent stroke thickness and a crisp, mechanical rhythm. Counters are mostly rectangular or octagonal, and terminals tend to end in flat cuts or angled notches, giving letters like C, G, S, and 2 a distinctive segmented silhouette. The lowercase follows the same hard-edged construction with a tall x-height feel, simple single-story shapes, and compact apertures that maintain a sturdy, blocky texture in text.
Best suited to large sizes where the angular cuts and polygonal counters can be appreciated—headlines, posters, title cards, and logos. It also fits on-screen applications such as game UI, tech packaging, and signage-style graphics where a hard-edged, sci‑fi tone is desired.
The overall tone is futuristic and engineered, evoking sci‑fi interfaces, arcade hardware, and industrial labeling. Its sharp facets and wide stance create a confident, assertive voice that feels technical and purpose-built rather than humanist or friendly.
The design appears intended to translate a digital/industrial aesthetic into a readable sans by systematically chamfering corners and simplifying curves into planar facets. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and consistent geometric construction to deliver impact and a distinctive techno voice.
The faceting is applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a coherent “machined” look. Rounded letters are deliberately polygonal, and details like the angled spur on Q and the segmented diagonals in S/Z reinforce the modular, screen-oriented aesthetic.
