A compact, faceted sans with octagonal geometry and crisp chamfered corners that replace curves with planar cuts. Strokes read as mostly uniform in thickness, producing a sturdy, monoline feel and strong color on the page. Counters are tight and often squared-off; joins and terminals are sharply clipped, giving letters a mechanical, cut-metal look. The lowercase stays compact with short extenders, while the numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, blocky rhythm with disciplined spacing and clear, simplified shapes.
Best suited to display work where its angular personality can lead: headlines, posters, title cards, logos, packaging accents, and game/tech interface elements. It performs well when given generous size and spacing, and it’s most effective in short phrases rather than long continuous reading.
The overall tone is mechanical and futuristic, with a retro arcade/industrial edge. Its hard angles and compressed rhythm feel purposeful and engineered, projecting strength and precision rather than warmth or softness.
The design appears intended to translate a beveled, machined aesthetic into a clean sans structure, using consistent chamfers to create a cohesive faceted voice. It prioritizes impact and a distinctive geometric signature, aiming for a modern-industrial feel with retro digital overtones.
Several forms lean into segmented construction (notably the angular bowls and the pointed, clipped terminals), which enhances the faceted theme but can reduce legibility at very small sizes. The design’s tight apertures and dense texture make it especially punchy in short settings.
