A wide, geometric sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, giving many counters an octagonal, cut‑metal look. Strokes are mostly monoline with selective thick–thin shifts created by wedge-like joins and notches, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. Terminals tend to be clipped rather than rounded, and many glyphs include inset cuts or segmented joins that emphasize a modular, constructed feel. The lowercase is compact with a high x-height and simplified forms, while capitals remain broad and squared with open apertures and prominent corner cuts.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short bursts of text where its angular construction can be appreciated. It also fits game UI, tech product branding, and packaging or label-style graphics that benefit from a fabricated, interface-forward aesthetic.
The font reads as futuristic and technical, evoking industrial signage, sci‑fi interfaces, and machinery labeling. Its sharp chamfers and occasional stencil-like breaks add a sense of precision and fabrication rather than warmth or casualness.
The letterforms appear designed to simulate machined geometry—built from straight segments with consistent chamfers—while introducing controlled cuts and thickness accents to keep the shapes lively. Overall, it aims to deliver a sci‑fi/industrial voice with strong graphic presence and a coherent modular system.
The design is highly distinctive in display settings, but the frequent corner cuts and internal notches create a busy texture at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic (notably the 0 and 8), reinforcing a cohesive, system-like character across the set.
