A geometric sans with sharp, faceted construction where curves are replaced by straight segments and chamfered corners. Strokes are uniform and heavy, producing strong, high-contrast silhouettes with crisp terminals and a compact, engineered feel. Counters tend toward squarish or octagonal forms, and many joins are cut at consistent angles, giving the alphabet a modular rhythm. Overall spacing reads fairly tight in running text, with distinctive, blocky shapes that stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where its angular construction can be appreciated—headlines, logos, posters, and product/tech branding. It also works well for signage, labels, and interface-style graphics where a hard-edged, engineered texture is desirable, while longer passages may benefit from generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The face conveys a technological, machine-made tone—confident, assertive, and slightly retro-digital. Its angular facets and compact forms evoke arcade graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling, projecting a functional, no-nonsense energy.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, planar vocabulary—replacing curves with consistent angled cuts to create a sturdy, futuristic texture. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a cohesive modular system for impactful, technology-forward typography.
The faceting is especially apparent in rounded letters and numerals, which resolve into multi-sided outlines rather than smooth bowls. Uppercase forms feel emblematic and sign-like, while the lowercase maintains the same rigid geometry, keeping texture uniform in paragraphs. Numerals match the letterforms’ angular logic, supporting cohesive alphanumeric settings.
