A geometric, angular sans built from straight strokes with consistent weight and frequent chamfered corners in place of curves. Counters tend toward octagonal/rectilinear shapes, giving letters like O, C, G, and S a faceted, cut-metal feel. Proportions are broad with sturdy caps and a clear, even rhythm; joins and terminals are predominantly flat, with diagonal cuts used to soften corners and define openings. The lowercase keeps the same structural language as the caps, with simple, squared forms and a single-storey a and g, maintaining a constructed, modular look.
Best suited to display roles where the angular construction can be a defining visual motif: headlines, posters, game titles, tech branding, packaging, and signage. It can work for short text in UI or labeling when a sharp, engineered voice is desired, but its distinctive facets are most effective when given room to show.
The overall tone is technical and engineered, evoking sci‑fi interfaces, machinery labeling, and arcade-era digital aesthetics. Its faceted geometry reads as assertive and utilitarian rather than friendly or calligraphic, projecting a deliberate, fabricated character.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted system, replacing curves with planar cuts to create a uniform, manufactured aesthetic. It aims for strong, immediate recognition through consistent chamfers, broad proportions, and robust stroke economy.
The faceting is consistent across rounds and diagonals, creating a cohesive “machined” silhouette at both display and text sizes. Numerals match the same chamfered logic, with strong, high-contrast silhouettes and angular interior counters that reinforce the industrial theme.
