A compact, geometric display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Forms are largely rectangular and octagonal, with consistent chamfering at terminals and corners that creates a hard, engineered silhouette. Counters tend toward squared shapes, apertures are controlled and narrow, and joins stay crisp with minimal optical softening. The overall rhythm is sturdy and modular, with a slightly condensed feel in some letters and simplified construction that keeps outlines clean and uniform across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display settings where strong silhouette and angular styling are an asset: game titles, sci‑fi or industrial posters, branding marks, packaging callouts, and interface labels. It can also work for short technical headings, signage, or scoreboards where a rigid, modular feel supports the content.
The faceted construction and cut-corner geometry evoke a synthetic, machine-made tone that reads as technical and assertive. Its sharp angles and stencil-like economy suggest sci‑fi interfaces, retro arcade graphics, and industrial labeling rather than literary or conversational text.
The design appears intended to translate a faceted, cut-metal aesthetic into a practical alphabet with consistent corner treatment and high visual impact. By standardizing chamfers and simplifying curves into straight segments, it aims for a distinctive techno voice that stays coherent across cases and numerals.
Lowercase follows the same angular logic as the capitals, using single-storey structures and squared bowls to maintain a consistent, system-like voice. Numerals adopt the same chamfered geometry, giving timestamps and counters a cohesive, instrument-panel look. The dense black shapes and tight apertures benefit from generous tracking and clear size separation between headline and supporting text.
