A geometric sans built from straight runs and clipped corners, replacing most curves with shallow chamfers and octagonal turns. Strokes are consistently even, with squared terminals and softly radiused outer corners that keep the angular construction from feeling brittle. Proportions read compact and tall, with a high x-height and tight counters that stay open through uniform internal spacing. The overall rhythm is highly regular and grid-friendly, with consistent cap height alignment and steady sidebearings that reinforce a measured, technical texture in lines of text.
Well suited to interface labels, dashboards, HUD-style graphics, and other contexts where uniform rhythm and strict geometry support quick scanning. The distinctive faceting also works in posters, tech branding accents, and signage where a crisp, engineered voice is desired.
The faceted construction and disciplined spacing evoke a technical, instrument-panel feel with a subtle retro-digital tone. Its precise geometry suggests engineered clarity and a utilitarian, contemporary mood rather than expressive handwriting or editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to translate a modular, planar construction into an everyday sans, prioritizing consistency and repeatable geometry while keeping shapes legible through generous x-height and clear internal spacing. The chamfered corners add character without breaking the overall system-like regularity.
Several forms lean on polygonal bowls and squared apertures (notably in rounded letters and numerals), giving the set a cohesive “cut metal” look. Diagonals are used sparingly and cleanly, contributing to a stable, architectural presence in all-caps and UI-like strings.
