A faceted, geometric sans with squared proportions and consistent chamfered corners that replace curves with planar cuts. Strokes are sturdy and even, with a mostly monolinear feel and compact counters that read as octagonal or rectangular apertures. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and simplified forms, while the overall rhythm stays rigid and gridlike, producing a strong, modular texture in text.
Best suited to display sizes where the faceted construction and chamfered corners can be appreciated. It works well for headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, and interface labeling in game or tech contexts, especially where a rigid, engineered texture is desirable.
The letterforms project a crisp, engineered tone that feels machine-made and game-adjacent. Its sharp facets and hard terminals suggest technology, hardware, and utilitarian signage rather than warmth or handwriting.
The design appears intended to translate a stencil-like, polygonal construction into a clean sans system, prioritizing hard geometry, legibility at larger sizes, and a distinctive angular voice for modern or retro-tech applications.
Diagonal cuts appear consistently at outer corners and in internal joins, giving many glyphs an eight-sided silhouette. Spacing and sidebearings appear slightly irregular across glyphs, reinforcing a constructed, modular character rather than a strictly uniform system.
