A compact, heavy sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. The forms are largely monoline in feel, with squared terminals and clipped joins that create an octagonal rhythm in counters and outer silhouettes. Uppercase construction reads geometric and blocky, while the lowercase keeps a similarly rigid skeleton with simplified bowls and a single‑storey a; round characters like O/Q and numerals adopt the same beveled, almost cut-metal treatment. Spacing and proportions favor tight, economical shapes that hold together in dense settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where the angular detailing can read clearly—headlines, posters, identity marks, packaging, and bold UI or signage moments. It can also work for game-inspired titles or technical labeling, especially when you want a compact, hard-edged texture.
The faceted geometry conveys a rugged, engineered tone—part machine label, part arcade display. Its clipped corners and compact stance give it a practical, no-nonsense voice with a distinctly retro-tech edge.
The design appears aimed at translating a geometric sans into a faceted, machined aesthetic—prioritizing strong silhouettes, consistent chamfers, and a compact footprint for punchy display communication.
Diagonal facets are used consistently at corners and in interior apertures, producing stable, high-contrast silhouettes even without stroke modulation. The uppercase has a slightly modular feel, and the numerals share the same angular logic, supporting cohesive alphanumeric lockups.
