A geometric, angular sans built from straight, uniform strokes and sharp corners, with frequent 45° chamfers that create an octagonal, cut-corner silhouette. Curves are largely avoided in favor of squared bowls and segmented diagonals, producing a modular, constructed feel. Counters are open and rectangular, spacing is fairly generous, and the overall rhythm is crisp and mechanical with consistent stroke endings and a clean, outline-like linearity despite being solid forms.
Best suited to display settings where its angular construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, branding marks, game titles, and tech-themed UI labels. It can also work for short blocks of text at larger sizes where the segmented geometry remains clear and intentional.
The tone reads as futuristic and technical, reminiscent of sci‑fi interfaces, arcade-era display lettering, and industrial labeling. Its faceted geometry and strict stroke logic give it a confident, engineered personality that feels modern yet retro-digital.
The design appears intended to translate a strict, modular geometry into a contemporary sans, prioritizing a faceted, machine-made look over traditional humanist curves. It aims for strong visual identity and a consistent techno aesthetic across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Distinctive chamfered joints show up across many glyphs, giving rounds like O/0 and bowls like D/P a multi-sided appearance. Numerals and uppercase feel especially emblematic and sign-like, while lowercase retains the same constructed vocabulary, emphasizing straight stems, squared shoulders, and clipped terminals for a cohesive system.
