A compact geometric sans with crisp, faceted construction: curves resolve into short straight segments, producing octagonal bowls and chamfered corners throughout. Strokes are heavy and uniform with minimal modulation, and terminals are flat or clipped rather than rounded. The lowercase has a straightforward, mechanical feel with mostly single-storey forms and squared counters; the dots on i/j read as small squares. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, with a slashed zero and blocky, angular figures that maintain a consistent, grid-aligned rhythm.
Works well for short, high-impact text such as signage, wayfinding systems, UI labels, packaging, and headlines where sturdy shapes and clear, angular silhouettes are beneficial. It also suits technical diagrams, product markings, and retro-industrial posters that benefit from a faceted, machined look.
The overall tone is utilitarian and engineered, evoking labeling, instruments, and durable signage. Its faceted geometry adds a subtly retro, techno flavor—more rugged and industrial than sleek or futuristic—while remaining clear and no-nonsense.
The font appears designed to translate a geometric sans into a cut-corner, planar vocabulary that stays consistent across the set. The intention seems to emphasize robustness and quick recognition, pairing simplified structure with distinctive faceting for a technical, system-oriented voice.
The design language is highly consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, with repeated chamfers and straightened curves creating a cohesive modular feel. The slashed zero and the square punctuation details reinforce an equipment/terminal aesthetic and support environments where quick differentiation matters.
