A geometric sans with an octagonal, superellipse-like construction: straight stems and bowls are connected with rounded corners and frequent chamfered cuts, creating a faceted silhouette. Strokes are consistently heavy and mostly monoline in feel, with large counters and a low-contrast, engineered rhythm. Curves tend to resolve into flattened arcs rather than true circles, and terminals often end in squared or clipped shapes, giving the alphabet a modular, built-from-parts coherence. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with clear, open forms and strong horizontal/vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display work where its faceted geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, brand marks, and product packaging with a tech-forward tone. It can also work for short UI labels in game or interface contexts, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the angular rounding stays crisp.
The overall tone is contemporary and synthetic, evoking sci‑fi interfaces, arcade hardware, and industrial labeling. Its faceted rounding reads as friendly enough for playful display, but still distinctly mechanical and technical.
The design appears intended to merge rounded-rectangle geometry with clipped, machine-made detailing, producing a robust, futuristic voice. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and a consistent modular system over neutrality, aiming for a bold, engineered presence in branding and display typography.
The font’s identity comes through in its consistent corner treatment: many joins and terminals use softened chamfers that keep forms angular without feeling sharp. The result is a strong, graphic texture in text, with distinctive silhouettes that remain structured and controlled.
