A sharply faceted geometric sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with short angled segments. Strokes read largely monolinear with clean, hard terminals and a consistent octagonal construction across rounds like O/C/G/0 and numerals such as 8 and 9. Proportions are modern and open with a moderate x-height; bowls and counters stay roomy despite the angular treatment, aiding clarity. Width varies by glyph, and the rhythm feels engineered and modular, with distinctive polygonal rounds and crisp diagonals in letters like K, M, V, W, and X.
Best suited to display applications where the faceted construction is an asset: headlines, brand marks, packaging, posters, and entertainment or game interfaces. It can also work for short UI labels and technical graphics where a crisp, engineered voice is desired, while long-form text may feel visually busy due to the constant cornering.
The angular, machined geometry gives a technical, futuristic tone with a utilitarian edge. It suggests instrumentation, manufactured signage, and digital-era design while still reading as contemporary rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a polygonal, chamfered system that evokes precision and manufactured form. By standardizing angled joints and eliminating true curves, it aims for a consistent, futuristic texture that remains legible in mixed-case and numeric contexts.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same faceted construction, producing a cohesive texture in mixed-case settings. The numerals are especially emblematic—0/8/9 use octagonal forms and sharp joints—creating a strong, system-like identity for data-heavy typography.
