A monoline, faceted sans built from short straight segments that replace curves with crisp planar corners. Counters and bowls are rendered as polygonal forms, often reading as octagonal outlines, with consistent stroke thickness and minimal contrast. The overall width is generous and the rhythm is slightly irregular due to varying character widths and the angled joins, creating a distinctive zig‑zag texture in text. Terminals are typically flat or sharply angled, and many rounded letters (C, G, O, S) become beveled frames that emphasize an outlined, constructed geometry.
Best suited to display roles where its faceted geometry can be appreciated: titles, posters, packaging accents, tech or gaming graphics, and interface headings. It can work for short bursts of text or labeling, but its angular rhythm and constructed counters are most effective in larger sizes and lower-density copy.
The font conveys a futuristic, tech-forward tone with an arcade and sci‑fi flavor. Its faceted construction feels engineered and digital, suggesting signage, interfaces, and stylized world-building rather than neutral editorial typography.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, polygon-based aesthetic into a readable sans, prioritizing a consistent beveled system across letters and figures. It aims for a distinctive constructed look that feels like cut metal, vector polygons, or retro-futuristic display lettering.
At text sizes the repeated bevels create a strong pattern and can reduce smoothness in long reading, while larger settings highlight the graphic personality and the polygonal counters. The numerals and capitals share the same angular logic, helping headings and short statements feel cohesive and emblematic.
