A geometric, faceted sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar chamfers. The letterforms emphasize wide, horizontal proportions and strong, uniform stroke presence, producing a dense, blocky texture. Counters are mostly squarish or octagonal, and terminals are consistently beveled, giving a mechanical, machined rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The design uses simplified joins and sharp diagonals for characters like K, M, N, V, W, and Y, while rounded shapes (O, C, G, S, 0) appear as multi-sided outlines rather than true curves.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and brand marks where its angular construction can read clearly and deliver a technical mood. It can also work for interface titles, game HUD/UI labels, and product or automotive-style branding where a machined, futuristic aesthetic is desired.
The overall tone reads as sci‑fi and engineered—confident, hard-edged, and performance-oriented. Its angular facets and wide stance suggest speed, machinery, and digital interfaces, with an assertive, game-like attitude rather than a neutral editorial voice.
The design appears intended to translate a modern sans into a faceted, polygonal system with consistent chamfers and straight-line construction. The goal is high visual impact and a cohesive techno-industrial voice, optimized for bold display typography and recognizable shapes rather than subtle, text-first neutrality.
In continuous text the faceting creates a distinctive zig-zag silhouette and a high-impact wordshape, with particularly strong presence in uppercase. Narrow openings and polygonal counters can make small sizes feel tight, while larger settings emphasize the crisp geometry and consistent corner language.
