A compact, straight-sided display face built from hard-edged strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Letterforms are tall and tightly proportioned, with uniform stroke weight and squared terminals that emphasize a rigid, engineered rhythm. Counters are small and geometric, and round characters like O, C, and G read as octagonal constructions. The overall texture is dense and highly regular, with consistent widths and spacing that create a strict, grid-like cadence in text.
This font is best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, and display titling where its angular construction can be a defining graphic feature. It also works well for signage and product labeling that benefits from an engineered, utilitarian feel, and for interface-style treatments that want a retro technical texture.
The faceted geometry gives the font a mechanical, industrial tone with a distinctly retro-digital flavor. It evokes stenciled labeling, scoreboards, and arcade-era UI—precise, no-nonsense, and slightly aggressive in its angularity.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, faceted construction into a compact, highly regular alphabet that stays crisp and assertive at display sizes. Its clipped corners and uniform rhythm suggest an aim for a techno-industrial personality that remains consistent across letters and numerals.
Diagonal joins are used sparingly and feel carefully snapped to a limited set of angles, reinforcing the modular look. The lowercase follows the same rigid construction with simple, upright forms, keeping the voice consistent between cases and numerals.
