A blocky, geometric sans with pronounced chamfered corners and octagonal construction throughout. Strokes are heavy with subtly uneven distribution in places, creating a crisp, engineered rhythm rather than a purely monoline feel. Apertures and counters are compact and often rectangular, with squared terminals and clipped joins that keep curves to a minimum. The lowercase follows the same modular logic as the caps, with simplified forms and short, sturdy extenders; numerals are similarly faceted and sign-like, favoring flat horizontals and sharp diagonals.
Best suited to short to medium display text where its faceted silhouettes can be appreciated—headlines, posters, product marks, and packaging. It also works well for on-screen treatments like gaming UI or sci‑fi themed graphics where an engineered, angular voice is desired.
The overall tone is hard-edged and mechanical, evoking sci‑fi interfaces, arcade screens, and industrial labeling. Its angularity and dense black shapes read as forceful and assertive, with a distinctly synthetic, constructed character.
The design appears intended to translate a modular, cut-corner geometry into a bold display sans that feels technical and futuristic. By prioritizing sturdy shapes, compact counters, and consistent chamfers, it aims for immediate impact and a distinctive, machine-made identity.
Many letters rely on clipped outer corners and inset counters, which increases visual texture and gives text a stamped, panel-cut impression. The design maintains a consistent geometric vocabulary across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, supporting cohesive display setting.
