A geometric, faceted sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers and octagonal counters. Strokes keep an even thickness throughout, with squared terminals and consistent internal angles that create a modular, engineered rhythm. Proportions read on the wide side, with sturdy capitals and compact, blocky lowercase forms; bowls and rounds (O, C, G, e, o) are notably polygonal. Numerals follow the same planar logic, yielding strong, sign-like figures with clear edges and stable alignment across the set.
Well-suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and poster typography where a geometric, industrial voice is desired. It also works for UI labels, dashboards, and signage-style systems that benefit from crisp, modular letterforms and a strongly technical flavor.
The overall tone feels technical and machine-made, with a retro-digital edge reminiscent of industrial labeling and early computer/arcade aesthetics. Its sharp facets and strict geometry project a functional, no-nonsense personality with a hint of sci‑fi styling.
The design appears intended to translate a strict geometric system into an everyday sans, emphasizing faceted construction and uniform stroke logic over traditional curves. The goal seems to be a practical, contemporary display voice that evokes engineered precision and retro-digital culture while staying clean and consistent in running text.
Diagonal joins and chamfered corners are handled consistently, producing clean silhouettes at display sizes and a distinctive sparkle in text. The faceting introduces deliberate angular “stress” in places where type would normally round, giving the face a stamped or plotted look while remaining highly uniform.
