A compact, angular sans with squared counters and frequent chamfered corners that give strokes a faceted, cut-metal feel. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments and soft octagonal turns, producing boxy bowls (O, D, 0) and a geometric, engineered rhythm. Stroke endings are blunt and consistent, with occasional asymmetric joins that add a slightly improvised, hand-cut edge while keeping an overall disciplined structure. Spacing reads moderately tight in text, and the tall lowercase proportions keep lines lively and vertical.
Best suited to display settings where the angular construction is an asset: posters, titles, packaging, esports/gaming visuals, and technology or industrial branding. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when a futuristic, engineered voice is desired; for extended reading, its distinctive geometry is most comfortable at larger sizes.
The font conveys a techno-industrial tone—mechanical, game-like, and slightly aggressive. Its faceted geometry suggests sci-fi interfaces, arcade titles, and utilitarian signage rather than neutral corporate text. The overall impression is energetic and engineered, with a stylized, constructed personality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a sans skeleton through rigid, chamfered geometry, emphasizing straight edges and squared bowls to create a futuristic, fabricated look. The consistent faceting and compact rhythm suggest a goal of strong visual identity and immediate recognition in headline contexts.
Distinctive forms include squared, octagonal-like rounds, a single-storey “a,” and angular diagonals on letters like K, V, W, X, and Y. Numerals follow the same boxy construction, with a squared “0” that can resemble an outlined rectangle and a “7” with a strong angled top, reinforcing the digital/industrial aesthetic.
