A geometric sans built from straight strokes and faceted corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers. Strokes are consistent in thickness, with squared terminals and frequent 45° cuts that create an octagonal, machined contour in round letters like C, G, O, and Q. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic, with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and compact joins that keep counters open and legible. Numerals echo the same angular language, with an eight-sided 0 and sharply segmented 2, 3, 5, and 9.
Well-suited for headlines, logos, and brand systems that want a technical or futuristic accent. It can also work for interface labels, wayfinding, product markings, and posters where crisp geometry and strong letter shapes help maintain clarity at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is technical and engineered, evoking digital hardware markings, arcade-era display lettering, and industrial labeling. Its sharp facets and uniform rhythm feel precise, modern, and slightly retro-futuristic, giving text a purposeful, utilitarian edge.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a classic sans structure into a faceted, planar aesthetic—prioritizing consistent stroke construction and a repeatable chamfer rule to deliver a distinctive, machine-made voice without sacrificing basic readability.
The design maintains a steady horizontal/vertical rhythm and clear silhouettes, while the consistent corner-cut motif provides strong visual cohesion across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The face reads cleanly in short bursts and headings, where the faceting becomes a defining texture.
