A geometric sans with sharp, planar facets replacing curves, giving most bowls and counters an octagonal feel. Strokes are monolinear and evenly weighted, with squared terminals and frequent 45° chamfers at corners. The proportions run broad, with generous horizontal spans in capitals and round letters rendered as straight-edged polygons. Open apertures and clean interior counters keep forms crisp, while diagonals (in V, W, X, Y, Z) are rigid and mechanical, matching the overall angular rhythm.
Best suited to display sizes where the faceted geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, tech branding, game/UI titling, and packaging with an industrial or sci‑fi theme. It can also work for short labels and signage-style applications where a crisp, mechanical voice is desirable.
The face reads as futuristic and engineered, with a utilitarian, machine-made precision. Its hard edges and polygonal construction evoke digital interfaces, industrial labeling, and sci‑fi titling rather than humanist warmth.
The design appears intended to translate a polygonal, machined geometry into a readable sans, trading curvature for controlled facets to create a distinctly technological tone while maintaining clear counters and straightforward letter structure.
The sample text shows strong consistency between uppercase and lowercase, with similarly faceted bowls and simplified joins. Numerals follow the same chamfered construction, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like aesthetic in mixed alphanumeric settings.
