A geometric sans built from straight strokes with consistent line weight and frequent chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp facets. Counters tend toward octagonal shapes (notably in O/0 and rounded lowercase), and terminals are clipped rather than rounded, giving the whole alphabet a cut-metal silhouette. Proportions are clean and modern with a compact, engineered rhythm; diagonals are decisive, and joins stay sharp and planar. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, with an octagonal 0 and angular forms throughout.
Best suited for display typography where its faceted details can be appreciated: headlines, posters, product branding, and tech-forward packaging. It also fits wayfinding or label-style applications that benefit from a mechanical, constructed look, especially in short to medium text settings.
The faceted construction reads as technical and manufactured, evoking signage, machinery, and digital-era sci‑fi aesthetics. Its sharp geometry feels precise and utilitarian rather than friendly, with a strong retro-future flavor reminiscent of arcade and industrial labeling.
Likely designed to translate a geometric sans skeleton into a faceted, machined aesthetic by systematically chamfering curves and sharpening terminals. The goal appears to be a cohesive, industrial-modern voice that remains legible while projecting a distinctive angular identity.
Several glyphs lean into distinctive geometric solutions—such as a sharply angled lowercase y and a tightly constructed g—reinforcing the font’s engineered personality. The consistent corner treatment helps maintain coherence across mixed-case settings, while the angular counters keep textures lively in longer text lines.
