A geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Stems and bars are uniformly heavy with low internal modulation, producing strong, compact counters and a steady texture in text. Many joins terminate in chamfered angles, giving rounds like O/C/G and digits like 0/8/9 an octagonal construction. Proportions skew tall with a prominent x-height and short ascenders/descenders, while spacing feels slightly mechanical and segmented, reinforcing the engineered rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where the faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logotypes, labels, and wayfinding. It also works well for UI accents in tech, games, and industrial themes, as well as short product names or titling where a crisp, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone is hard-edged and technical, suggesting machined signage and retro-digital display aesthetics. Its faceted geometry reads assertive and utilitarian, with a subtle arcade/sci‑fi flavor that feels contemporary yet rooted in classic game and instrument-panel typography.
The design appears intended to translate a digital/industrial aesthetic into a solid, print-friendly sans by systematically chamfering curves and standardizing stroke weight. Its tall proportions and tight, angular counters prioritize impact and a distinctive silhouette over softness, aiming for a durable, high-contrast-in-shape look in branding and display typography.
Distinctive details include a strongly faceted S, a squared, notched look in bowls and terminals, and an angular G that maintains the octagonal logic. The lowercase follows the same constructed approach, with single-storey forms and simplified joins that keep the silhouette clean at a distance.
