A sharply angular, chamfered sans built from blocky, polygonal forms with frequent 45° corner cuts. Strokes show deliberate contrast created by thick outer contours paired with thin internal joins and intermittent open or notched counters, giving several letters a segmented, stencil-like construction. Curves are largely avoided in favor of faceted arcs (notably in C, G, O, Q, and numerals), and terminals tend to end in clipped wedges. The lowercase mirrors the geometric logic of the caps with simplified bowls and occasional cut-through details, producing a rigid, modular rhythm across words.
Best suited for large-size applications where its faceted corners and internal cut details can stay crisp: headlines, posters, title cards, branding marks, packaging, and tech or gaming UI accents. It can also work for short labels and signage-style text when generous spacing is available.
The overall tone is technical and engineered, evoking sci‑fi interfaces, arcade hardware, and industrial labeling. Its sharp geometry and segmented details add a controlled aggression that feels modern, synthetic, and display-forward rather than conversational.
The design appears intended to translate an octagonal, machined aesthetic into a cohesive alphabet, using chamfers and segmented counters to suggest construction from plates or modules. The contrast and cut-through details prioritize impact and character, aiming for a distinctive display voice in futuristic or industrial contexts.
Diagonal chamfers and internal cut lines are used as recurring motifs, helping differentiate similar shapes (e.g., E/F, O/Q, 8/0) while maintaining a cohesive, mechanical texture. The figures follow the same faceted construction, with especially angular 2, 5, and 7 and an octagonal 0 that reads like a panel or badge.
