A geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing most curves with planar facets. Counters and bowls read as octagonal/rectilinear shapes, and terminals are consistently chamfered, giving a crisp, engineered edge. Stroke thickness remains even throughout, with squared joins and clean interior corners that create a tight, gridded rhythm. The set feels slightly expanded in its horizontal proportions, and the numerals echo the same cut-corner construction for a cohesive, system-like texture.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short bursts of text where its faceted geometry can read clearly. It also fits UI theming, game titles, tech packaging, and signage-inspired graphics that benefit from a precise, engineered voice. For longer passages, more generous sizing and spacing help maintain clarity as the angular counters and corners become visually busy.
The overall tone is futuristic and technical, evoking industrial labeling, interface typography, and retro-digital hardware aesthetics. Its sharp geometry feels precise and utilitarian, with a confident, machine-made character.
Likely designed to translate a modern, machine-oriented aesthetic into a consistent, modular alphabet, using chamfers to suggest speed, precision, and manufactured surfaces. The goal appears to be a distinctive sci‑fi/industrial flavor while keeping a straightforward sans structure for practical display use.
Distinctive forms like the angled-legged R, the cut-out tail on Q, and the sharply constructed diagonals (K, M, N, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the faceted concept without becoming overly decorative. At smaller sizes the angular apertures and tight interior spaces can create a dense color, while at display sizes the chamfers become a defining stylistic feature.
