A compact, angular display sans with monolinear strokes and a distinctly faceted construction. Corners are cut with chamfered or notched terminals, producing octagonal counters and sharp interior joins. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments, giving letters like O/Q/0 an engineered, polygonal feel. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, but the overall rhythm stays tight and vertical, with flat tops and bottoms and minimal modulation throughout.
Best suited to short text where its angular personality can read clearly: headlines, posters, branding marks, product packaging, and signage or wayfinding. It also fits interfaces or themed graphics that want an engineered, retro-futuristic aesthetic rather than a neutral voice.
The face conveys a mechanical, industrial tone with a strong retro-tech flavor. Its crisp angles and narrowed stance suggest machinery, labeling, and utilitarian signage, while the geometric, cut-corner detailing adds a stylized sci‑fi edge.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, machined look into a condensed display alphabet—prioritizing sharp silhouettes, tight rhythm, and high visual impact. Its faceted joins and clipped terminals aim to create a cohesive techno-industrial identity across letters and numbers.
Distinctive cut-in details appear in several glyphs, especially in enclosed forms, enhancing a stencil-like, constructed impression without fully breaking strokes. The numerals share the same faceted logic, keeping a consistent, hard-edged voice across text and figures.
