A compact, faceted sans with straight-sided strokes and clipped, chamfered corners that turn curves into small planar segments. Stems are monoline and solid, with mostly rectangular counters and consistent stroke endings, giving the alphabet a rhythmic, engineered uniformity. Proportions are condensed with tall capitals; lowercase shares the same angular construction, keeping bowls and joints boxy and tight. Figures follow the same octagonal logic, with squared terminals and simplified interior shapes for a crisp, sign-like silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, titles, posters, and bold branding where its angular geometry can be a defining graphic element. It also fits labeling and signage applications that benefit from compact width and clear, rigid letterforms, as well as packaging and tech-themed interfaces where an industrial tone is desired.
The overall tone is utilitarian and machine-made, evoking labeling, equipment markings, and technical interfaces. Its sharp facets and compact width create a firm, no-nonsense voice that reads as retro-futurist and industrial rather than friendly or handwritten.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, octagonal construction into a practical display sans: minimizing curves into facets for a crisp, manufactured look while keeping letterforms straightforward and readable in compact settings.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds (O/C/G/Q and numerals), producing a strong pixel/LED-adjacent flavor without becoming a grid font. The texture in text is dense and even, with distinctive chamfers that help maintain character at smaller sizes while emphasizing a hard-edged aesthetic.
