A faceted, monoline sans built from straight segments that substitute for curves, producing chamfered corners and planar “bends” throughout. Strokes stay visually even, with squared terminals and a slightly irregular, hand-cut geometry that keeps the shapes from feeling purely grid-perfect. Counters tend toward boxy polygons (notably in O/Q and the numerals), while diagonals are sharply notched and the overall widths vary by glyph for a practical, readable rhythm. The lowercase is large relative to the caps, with compact apertures and simplified joins that favor clarity over calligraphic nuance.
Best suited to display settings where the faceted construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, product branding, logotypes, and UI/game title treatments. It can work for short blocks of text at larger sizes, but its angular segmentation is most effective when used for emphasis rather than extended reading.
The letterforms read as technical and constructed, evoking signage, machinery, and retro digital interfaces. Its sharp facets and clipped corners give it a futuristic, game-like tone with an industrial edge rather than a friendly or literary feel.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, hard-surfaced aesthetic into a usable sans alphabet—prioritizing consistent stroke weight and crisp, planar corners to create a distinctly technical voice. It aims to balance futuristic styling with enough conventional proportions to remain legible in common headline and interface scenarios.
Distinctive details include polygonal bowls and counters, a Q with a minimal angular tail, and numerals that echo the same chamfered logic, keeping the set visually consistent. The stepped/segmented treatment of traditionally curved letters (S, C, G) is a defining motif that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes.
