This typeface is built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Bowls and rounds read as octagonal forms (notably in C, G, O, Q, and 8), while terminals are cut cleanly with consistent angles that keep the rhythm uniform across the set. Strokes are generally even, with a sturdy, slightly geometric construction and clear differentiation between uppercase and lowercase shapes. Figures follow the same faceted logic, giving the numerals a compact, engineered feel with strong interior counters.
Best suited to display work where the faceted construction can be appreciated—logos, product branding, posters, and title treatments. It can also work for signage and interface labels in industrial or tech settings, particularly at medium to large sizes where the cut corners and counters remain clear.
The overall tone is technical and machine-made, suggesting signage, instrumentation, and engineered products. Its sharp geometry conveys precision and control, with a subtly retro-digital edge that feels at home in sci‑fi or industrial contexts without becoming playful.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, engineered forms into a readable sans structure by systematically chamfering curves and corners. It aims to balance legibility with a distinctive, angular voice that signals technology and modern fabrication.
The faceting is applied systematically, so even small glyph details (like the hooks and joints in letters such as a, e, and s) retain the same angular logic. This consistency helps the design feel intentional and cohesive, especially in all-caps and short wordmarks.
