A geometric sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp, multi-sided facets. Forms feel slightly condensed and compact, with squared counters (notably in O and 0) and consistent, blocky terminals. The lowercase uses sturdy, simplified structures (single-storey a and g), short joins, and tight apertures, keeping rhythm even in text. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, reading like cut-metal stencils with uniform stroke presence and clean internal shapes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a hard-edged, technical voice is desired. It also fits UI labels, esports/gaming graphics, and product markings that benefit from an engineered, faceted aesthetic, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is technical and machined, evoking instrumentation, arcade cabinets, and sci‑fi interfaces. Its angular facetting and squared counters lend a tough, no-nonsense feel with a subtle retro-futurist edge.
Likely designed to translate an octagonal, cut-corner construction system into a practical sans for display and short text, prioritizing a unified faceted silhouette and a machine-made presence.
The facet motif is applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive texture at display sizes. Large, boxy counters and simplified joins help maintain legibility, while the condensed proportions and tight apertures make the color dense and assertive in lines of text.
