A compact, squared sans with hard corners and consistent, blocky strokes. Curves are rendered as planar segments and chamfered turns, producing faceted bowls and octagonal counters in letters like O, Q, and 8. Terminals are predominantly flat and squared off, with occasional notches and cut-ins that emphasize a modular construction. Proportions feel tight and efficient, with a disciplined rhythm and strong verticals; diagonals in V, W, and X are crisp and straight, while the lowercase maintains a restrained, technical silhouette with a relatively small x-height and clear, open apertures.
Well-suited for headlines, wordmarks, posters, and packaging where a technical, constructed voice is desired. It also fits UI-style branding elements, labels, and signage-inspired layouts that benefit from its squared counters and decisive, faceted shapes.
The overall tone is utilitarian and engineered, evoking digital interfaces, arcade-era graphics, and sci‑fi instrumentation. Its faceted geometry lends a precise, mechanical character that feels assertive and controlled rather than friendly or expressive.
The font appears designed to translate a geometric, planed construction into a clean sans system, replacing continuous curves with controlled facets for a distinctly engineered look. The aim seems to be high-impact display legibility with a consistent modular rhythm across letters and numerals.
The design reads best at display sizes where the chamfers and angular bowl construction are most evident; at smaller sizes, the many square turns can visually densify. Numerals are particularly sign-like, with strong, squared forms that match the uppercase’s architectural presence.
