A geometric sans built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with frequent 45° cuts that create octagonal counters and notched terminals. The construction is monoline and deliberately segmented, giving many forms a stencil-like, modular feel even though strokes remain continuous. Curves are largely avoided in favor of squared bowls (notably in O/Q and numerals), while diagonals in letters like K, M, N, V, W, X, and Y are crisp and rigid. Spacing and widths vary by character, but the overall rhythm stays consistent through repeated chamfers, flat tops, and boxed-in counters.
Best suited to display contexts where the angular construction can read clearly—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and tech-leaning graphics. It also fits interface-style applications such as game UI, sci‑fi titles, and event graphics where a geometric, digitized flavor is desirable. For long text, it will perform better at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The typeface reads as futuristic and engineered, echoing sci‑fi interfaces, digital clocks, and arcade-era display lettering. Its sharp geometry and clipped corners produce a cool, technical tone with an assertive, synthetic presence.
The design appears intended to translate a clean sans skeleton into a hard-edged, modular system, prioritizing a cohesive “machine-made” look over conventional warmth. The repeated chamfers and squared counters suggest a goal of strong visual identity in contemporary tech and entertainment settings.
Distinctive features include a boxed Q with a squared tail, a zigzag S, and an angular G with an open, stepped interior. Lowercase forms maintain the same hard-edged logic as the uppercase, with simplified, rectilinear shapes and minimal curvature. At smaller sizes the tight corners and internal cut-ins may reduce clarity, while larger settings emphasize the graphic patterning.
