This typeface is built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets that read as octagonal and beveled forms. Strokes are consistently monoline, producing an even, engineered texture, while joins are sharply mitered and terminals are typically diagonal cuts. Bowls and rounds (O, C, G, 0, 8) resolve into faceted outlines, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) are clean and symmetrical, giving the alphabet a disciplined, geometric rhythm. Counters stay open and squared-off, and the overall spacing feels balanced for display sizing, with distinctive, graphic numerals that mirror the same chamfered construction.
Works best in headlines, branding, posters, and short bursts of text where the faceted corners can read clearly. It is also well-suited to tech-themed UI labels, product marking, and packaging that benefits from an engineered, geometric voice. For extended reading, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes and with generous tracking.
The faceted construction and uniform stroke give a distinctly synthetic tone—precise, technical, and game-like. It suggests hardware interfaces, sci‑fi titling, and industrial labeling rather than soft or humanist warmth. The repeated chamfers create a sense of motion and energy, evoking retro-futurist and arcade aesthetics.
The design appears intended to translate a sans framework into a hard-edged, polygonal system, prioritizing a consistent chamfered motif across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Its construction emphasizes precision and a futuristic visual signature, aiming for immediate recognizability in display contexts.
The lowercase follows the same angular logic as the uppercase, with single-storey a and g and simplified, constructed forms that maintain a consistent grid-like logic. Several glyphs lean on recognizable silhouettes but sharpened into polygonal geometry, which makes the design feel coherent and intentionally mechanical. The sample text shows strong word-shape at larger sizes, where the corner cuts become a defining texture across lines.
