A geometric, monoline sans with strongly rectilinear construction and frequent chamfered corners that create octagonal counters (notably in O/0 and rounded forms). Strokes are uniform with crisp, squared terminals, and curves are largely replaced by straight segments, giving many letters a cut-out, modular feel. Proportions are generally compact with slightly narrow apertures and a mechanical rhythm; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are firm and clean, while bowls and curves (B, D, G, S) resolve into faceted shapes. Lowercase follows the same hard-edged logic, with a single-storey a and g, a tall, simple l, and a distinctly angular, squared-in e.
Best suited to display use where its angular geometry can lead the visual voice—headlines, posters, titles, and tech-forward branding. It also works well for on-screen interface labels, game/UI elements, and packaging or product marks that benefit from a crisp, engineered look.
The overall tone is technical and game-like, evoking digital signage, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its faceted geometry reads as purposeful and engineered rather than friendly, with a crisp, synthetic energy that feels at home in retro-futurist or arcade contexts.
The design appears intended to translate a modular, straight-line construction into a readable sans, prioritizing a distinctive faceted silhouette and an unmistakably digital/industrial character. The consistent chamfers and squared counters suggest an aim for strong identity and high impact in short bursts of text.
Numerals are similarly angular and designed for quick recognition, with squared counters and straight-sided silhouettes. The typeface maintains consistent stroke weight across glyphs, and the repeated use of clipped corners produces a coherent, stencil-like geometric texture without actual breaks in the strokes.
