A monolinear sans with planar, chamfered corners that turn bowls and curves into crisp polygonal facets. Strokes maintain an even weight and terminate in flat ends, creating a clean, engineered silhouette. Letterforms are generally open and geometric, with squarish counters and consistent corner clipping across rounds like O, C, G, and Q. Spacing reads steady and the shapes stay compact and sturdy, keeping good clarity in both uppercase and lowercase at text sizes.
Well-suited for headlines, branding, and short bursts of text where a technical, faceted voice is desirable. It also works effectively for UI labels, signage, and product/packaging applications that benefit from a crisp, machine-made look and consistent geometric repetition.
The repeated corner-cut geometry gives the face a technical, manufactured feel—evoking hardware panels, sci‑fi interfaces, and arcade-era display styling. Its tone is assertive and utilitarian rather than friendly, with a controlled, precise rhythm that feels built for screens and systems.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into an angular, panel-like system by replacing curves with consistent chamfers. The goal seems to be a modern, tech-forward texture that stays legible while delivering a distinctive faceted identity.
Distinctive octagonal rounds and angled joins provide strong visual cohesion, while the numerals and capitals lean into the same faceted construction for a unified set. The overall texture is crisp and high-contrast in silhouette (without stroke contrast), making it read as bold and graphic even at moderate sizes.
