A faceted sans with monoline strokes and consistently chamfered corners, replacing curves with short angled segments. Bowls and counters lean toward octagonal geometry (notably in O/0 and rounded lowercase), while straight stems and arms keep a crisp, engineered rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact and rigid, with squared terminals and planar joins; lowercase keeps a simple, schematic construction with modest roundness rendered as facets. Numerals follow the same polygonal logic, producing clear, sign-like silhouettes with minimal modulation.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and interface labels where a crisp, geometric voice is desired. It can also work for short text in tech or game-related contexts, especially when the faceted detailing is meant to be a visible stylistic cue.
The overall tone is technical and futuristic, with a machine-made, instrument-panel feel. Its sharp facets and geometric regularity suggest precision, digital interfaces, and retro sci‑fi aesthetics rather than warmth or calligraphic expression.
The design appears intended to translate a straightforward sans skeleton into a planar, cut-corner aesthetic, emphasizing engineered geometry and a consistent polygonal system. It prioritizes a distinctive angular texture and a retro-digital presence over traditional rounded softness.
Faceting is applied broadly and consistently, giving the type a distinctive edge even at text sizes. The design reads cleanly in display use, with standout polygonal rounds and clipped terminals that create a steady, mechanical texture.
