A sharply faceted, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with chamfered, multi-sided forms. Stems are uniform and monolinear, with consistent diagonal cut-ins at terminals that create a rhythmic, octagonal silhouette across rounds like C, O, and S. Counters tend toward polygonal apertures, and joins are crisp and planar, giving the alphabet a constructed, modular feel. Lowercase follows the same hard-edged logic with compact bowls and angular shoulders, while numerals are similarly segmented with clear, blocky structure and decisive corner cuts.
Best suited to display contexts where the faceted geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, title cards, and branding that aims for a technical or futuristic voice. It also fits interface-style graphics, game UI, and on-screen overlays where an engineered, segmented look supports the message.
The overall tone is technical and synthetic, evoking digital instrumentation, sci‑fi interfaces, and machined signage. Its sharp facets and disciplined geometry read as assertive and engineered, with an arcade/retro-computing edge that feels energetic rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to translate a futuristic, machined aesthetic into a readable alphabet by systematically substituting curves with planar facets and keeping stroke logic consistent across cases and numerals. The goal seems to be a distinctive, high-impact texture that remains structured and legible in short to medium text runs.
The repeated chamfers create a strong texture in text settings, with distinctive zig-zag highlights at terminals and a consistent polygonal ‘round’ that keeps lines visually cohesive. Openings in letters such as E, F, and G are clean and directional, helping maintain clarity while reinforcing the angular theme.
