A sharply faceted sans with octagonal, chamfered contours that replace curves with straight segments. Strokes are largely monoline, with crisp terminals and consistent corner treatments that create a modular, engineered rhythm across the alphabet. Counters tend toward squarish shapes with clipped corners, and several forms use open apertures and notched joins that emphasize the geometric construction. The overall fit reads slightly irregular from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a built-from-parts feel rather than a strictly uniform, geometric system.
Best suited for headlines, branding marks, and short bursts of text where its angular construction can read as a deliberate style. It works especially well for game UI, sci‑fi/tech themed graphics, signage-like treatments, and packaging that benefits from a hard-edged, engineered voice.
The font projects a technical, game-like tone—confident, synthetic, and slightly aggressive due to its hard angles and cut corners. Its faceted geometry evokes digital hardware, sci‑fi interfaces, and retro arcade lettering, balancing clarity with a stylized, machine-made edge.
The design appears intended to translate a sans structure into a planar, cut-metal aesthetic, using consistent chamfers and straight-line arcs to suggest precision and technology. The goal seems to be strong display impact with a distinctive, faceted texture rather than invisible text neutrality.
At larger sizes the corner cuts and inner counter shapes become a defining texture, while at smaller sizes the many facets can visually busy up, especially in dense text. Numerals share the same chamfered construction, with strong, sign-like silhouettes that suit display use.
