A condensed, monoline sans with straight-sided strokes and clipped corners that turn curves into shallow, planar facets. The geometry leans toward octagonal bowls and squared terminals, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm with minimal stroke modulation. Counters are fairly open for the width, and the forms stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with compact spacing and a tidy, grid-friendly silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where the faceted geometry can be a feature. It also works well for logos, labels, and signage systems that benefit from an industrial, technical voice. For longer text, it will be more comfortable at larger sizes where the angular joins and condensed width remain clearly legible.
The overall tone feels technical and utilitarian, with a subtle retro-digital flavor. Its faceted construction reads as machine-made and precise, suggesting equipment labeling, arcade-era graphics, or sci‑fi interface typography rather than warm, humanist text.
Designed to translate a sans-serif skeleton into a faceted, planar construction, prioritizing clarity and consistency while adding a distinctive angular texture. The intent appears to be a practical display face with a strong geometric identity that feels ready for industrial graphics and futuristic UI aesthetics.
Distinctive octagonal shaping is most apparent in round letters and numerals, which favor flat segments over continuous arcs. The narrow proportions and uniform stroke weight create strong vertical emphasis, and the sharp corner behavior gives the face a robust, sign-like presence at medium to large sizes.
