A heavy, angular display face built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with faceted, octagonal geometry. Counters tend toward squared apertures, and many terminals end in diagonal chamfers that create a consistent, machined rhythm across the alphabet. Horizontal bars are broad and steady, joins are abrupt and planar, and the overall silhouette reads as compact, blocky forms with minimal modulation. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic, with simplified bowls and sharp cut-ins that keep the texture crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale applications where the faceted construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging callouts, and on-screen UI elements for games or tech-themed experiences. In longer passages it creates a strong, patterned texture, making it most effective for short bursts of copy, labels, and emphasis.
The tone is distinctly futuristic and engineered, evoking interfaces, sci‑fi titling, and arcade-era graphics. Its sharp planes and hard stops feel assertive and utilitarian, projecting a controlled, machine-made character rather than a humanist or calligraphic one.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, hard-surface aesthetic into an alphabet—prioritizing crisp edges, uniform stroke logic, and a cohesive techno rhythm. By systematically chamfering corners and squaring counters, it aims to deliver a bold, high-impact voice optimized for futuristic and industrial-themed display typography.
Several glyphs lean into a stencil-like sensibility through interior cutouts and notches, which adds visual bite and strengthens the techno texture in running text. Numerals mirror the same chamfered construction, staying consistent with the caps and reinforcing a cohesive, system-like voice.
