A compact, geometric sans built from straight strokes and faceted joins, with curves largely replaced by clipped, planar corners. Strokes are uniform and end in softly rounded terminals, giving the sharp geometry a slightly friendly finish. Proportions are tight and condensed, with small interior counters and a relatively low x-height; bowls and rounds tend toward octagonal shapes. The overall rhythm is consistent but not purely modular, with subtle width variation across glyphs and numerals.
Best suited to display contexts where its angular silhouette can read as a distinctive shape—headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short UI labels or game/interface text when set with generous size and spacing.
The faceted construction and condensed stance evoke sci‑fi interfaces, retro arcade labeling, and industrial instrumentation. Rounded terminals temper the hard angles, producing a confident, engineered tone that feels both futuristic and approachable.
The design appears intended to translate a faceted, machined geometry into a clean sans structure, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a consistent technical motif. It aims for a retro-futurist voice while maintaining straightforward letterforms for quick recognition.
Several forms lean on simplified, sign-like constructions (notably the angular rounds and the zig-zag diagonals), which increases impact at display sizes. The dense apertures and tight spacing suggest it will appear darker in paragraphs than its monoline structure might imply.
