A geometric, monolinear sans with an octagonal construction and frequent chamfered corners, giving curves a faceted, engineered look. Strokes stay largely uniform, with squared terminals and consistent, boxy counters that keep rhythm steady across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Many joins show slight roughness and minor edge irregularities, producing a subtly worn, printed texture without compromising overall clarity. Proportions lean compact and technical, with generous internal space in rounded forms like O/0 and a crisp, modular feel throughout.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, and branding where a technical, faceted aesthetic is desirable. It can also support game UI, interface mockups, product labels, and packaging that aim for an industrial or sci-fi mood, especially at medium to large sizes where the angular detailing and subtle wear are most visible.
The face reads as technical and futuristic, with an industrial, machine-made tone. The faceted geometry suggests hardware interfaces, instrumentation, and engineered signage, while the lightly roughened edges add a gritty, workmanlike character.
Likely designed to combine a modular, octagonal construction reminiscent of engineered forms with a lightly worn finish, creating a display-friendly voice that feels both futuristic and rugged.
Numerals reinforce the angular system (notably the octagonal 0 and segmented-style 2/3/5), helping the font feel at home in display settings that reference devices and labeling. The texture is consistent enough to function in short text, but it visually asserts itself most when set larger.
