A geometric, faceted sans built from straight strokes with consistent thickness and frequent chamfered corners in place of curves. Bowls and rounds resolve into octagonal forms, giving letters and numerals a crisp, planar silhouette with clear internal counters. Proportions are compact and regular, with simplified joins and a steady rhythm that keeps word shapes even and grid-like. The numerals follow the same faceted construction, producing especially angular forms in 0, 3, 6, 8, and 9.
Works well for interface typography where a technical, grid-aligned texture is desirable, such as dashboards, device screens, and system labeling. It also suits diagrams, short instructions, data tables, and compact signage where consistent rhythm and clear, angular forms help maintain clarity at small to medium sizes.
The overall tone is technical and instrument-like, evoking labeling, terminal readouts, and engineered interfaces. Its sharp corners and reduced curvature create a cool, precise voice that leans slightly retro while still feeling modern and functional.
The font appears designed to translate a geometric, polygonal construction into a practical sans for real text, balancing a distinctive faceted motif with straightforward letterforms. The consistent chamfers suggest an intention to echo manufactured objects and digital display aesthetics while keeping the overall structure clean and readable.
The design’s corner cuts and straightened curves remain consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps maintain a cohesive texture in continuous text. The faceting is prominent enough to be a defining style feature, yet the outlines stay restrained and legible due to the open counters and simple stroke endings.
