A geometric, monoline sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with small planar facets. Letterforms sit on a rigid grid with consistent stroke endings, creating a crisp, engineered rhythm. The shapes are largely rectangular and octagonal in feel, with squared counters and short diagonal joins that soften corners without introducing true curves. Numerals and capitals share the same modular logic, and punctuation follows the same squared, technical treatment.
Well-suited to interface labels, dashboards, and terminal-style layouts where fixed-width alignment and clear structure help scanning. It also fits technical packaging, industrial wayfinding, and display settings that benefit from a crisp, engineered aesthetic, especially for identifiers, part numbers, and short lines of text.
The faceted construction and grid-locked spacing evoke technical labeling, instrument readouts, and retro digital interfaces. It feels precise and no-nonsense, with an industrial, schematic tone that stays readable while signaling a distinctly machine-made personality.
The design appears intended to translate a digital, mechanical sensibility into a clean text face by using a strict grid, uniform strokes, and chamfered geometry. Its consistent faceting suggests a focus on repeatable construction and predictable spacing for system-like typography.
Diagonal letters (like A, K, V, W, X, Y) use straight, clean joins that maintain the same corner-chamfer motif seen in rounded letters. Forms such as O/0 and C/G lean on octagonal outlines, reinforcing the font’s consistent polygonal theme and making it particularly cohesive in all-caps and numeric-heavy settings.
