This typeface is built from crisp geometric strokes with planar, faceted curves that read as chamfered segments rather than smooth arcs. Strokes are monoline and end in sharp, cut-in terminals, producing a rhythmic sequence of wedges, notches, and diagonal joins. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) become polygonal and diamond-like in their counters, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) stay rigid and schematic. The lowercase keeps a simple, constructed structure with single-storey a and g, and the numerals echo the same angular logic with pointed diagonals and clipped curves.
Best suited for headlines, posters, branding marks, and short display copy where its faceted geometry can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging or event/venue signage that benefits from a stylized, futuristic voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels futuristic and engineered, with a distinctly techno display flavor. Its sharp facets and stylized geometry suggest digital-era signage, arcade or sci‑fi titling, and a retro-modern sensibility rather than neutral text typography.
The design appears intended to translate sans-serif proportions into a sharply faceted, constructed aesthetic, replacing conventional curves with planar segments and distinctive counters. The goal is a memorable display face with strong geometric personality and clear thematic cohesion across letters and figures.
Word shapes are highly distinctive due to the repeated use of diamond counters and angular cutouts, which can create strong patterning at larger sizes. The design’s crisp corners and internal notches add character but also increase visual activity, especially in dense lines of text.
