A heavy, angular sans with octagonal outer shapes and consistent chamfered corners that replace most curves. Strokes are largely monolinear with squared terminals and short, planar cut-ins that create a faceted rhythm across the alphabet. Counters tend toward rectangular forms with clipped corners, and bowls and rounds (O, C, G, e, o) read as softened polygons rather than true curves. The lowercase is compact and geometric with single-storey a and g, a straight-sided m/n, and a squared dot on i/j; figures follow the same clipped, techno geometry.
Best suited to display settings where its faceted geometry can read clearly: headlines, posters, logotypes, product badges, and tech or gaming UI labels. It can work for short bursts of text at larger sizes, where the clipped corners and tight apertures remain distinct.
The overall tone is assertive and machine-made, evoking sci-fi interfaces, arcade hardware, and engineered signage. Its crisp facets and blocky construction feel contemporary and technical, with a slightly retro-digital edge.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a geometric, panel-cut aesthetic into a legible sans—prioritizing a consistent chamfer system, strong silhouettes, and a cohesive techno rhythm across letters and numerals.
The design maintains a disciplined corner treatment throughout, which helps the set feel cohesive even in dense text. Narrow apertures and squared counters emphasize a modular, constructed look, while the wide stance gives headings a strong, stable footprint.
