A geometric sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with short planar facets. Stems and horizontals are largely monolinear, with small notches and clipped terminals creating an octagonal, engineered silhouette. Counters are squared-off and angular, and many joins form clean 45° cuts that give the outlines a modular, grid-like logic. The overall rhythm is compact and structured, with sturdy proportions and clear separation between forms in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and branding that benefits from a technical, hard-edged voice. It also fits game UI, sci‑fi/industrial packaging, and signage where the angular silhouettes help create a distinctive, engineered look. For longer text, it performs most comfortably at larger sizes where the faceting and notches remain clear.
The faceted construction and clipped corners evoke a technical, arcade-era digital sensibility—precise, mechanical, and slightly aggressive. Its sharp geometry suggests machinery, interfaces, and sci‑fi signage more than neutral editorial tone, giving text a bold, engineered flavor even at moderate sizes.
The design appears intended to translate a polygonal, machined aesthetic into a readable sans, using consistent chamfers and flat planes to unify the character set. It prioritizes strong silhouette and thematic consistency over softness, aiming for a distinctive display presence that still holds together in short paragraphs.
Diagonal strokes (as in V, W, Y, and K) are expressed through stepped or jointed geometry rather than smooth diagonals, reinforcing the polygonal theme. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, with strong horizontal emphasis and squared counters that read like display-oriented, device-inspired figures.
