A geometric sans with a monoline stroke and faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by straight segments with chamfered corners, creating octagonal bowls and squared counters. Terminals tend to be flat and crisp, with consistent stroke weight and clean joins that keep the texture even. Proportions are fairly compact with a steady rhythm in text; diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X, and Z are sharp and direct, while rounded forms such as O, C, G, and Q read as planar, cut-corner shapes. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with a notably polygonal 0 and a segmented, digital-feeling 2 and 3.
Well-suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and display settings where an angular, technical voice is desired—such as technology branding, game UI labels, product packaging, and wayfinding or event signage. It can also work for titles and pull quotes where its crisp faceting can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels technical and constructed, like lettering designed for instruments, interfaces, or sci‑fi signage. Its faceted geometry gives it a precise, engineered character that reads modern and slightly retro-digital at the same time.
The font appears intended to translate geometric sans forms into a faceted, planar system, prioritizing sharp corner behavior and consistent stroke logic over traditional curves. The result is a clear, engineered look that supports contemporary tech and sci‑fi themed typography.
The design maintains strong internal consistency by applying the same corner-cut motif across bowls, shoulders, and numerals, which helps it look cohesive in all-caps headlines and mixed-case settings. The lowercase stays aligned with the angular theme, producing a clean, schematic color in longer samples.
