A geometric sans with an octagonal construction: curves are largely replaced by straight segments and consistent chamfered corners. Strokes keep an even thickness throughout, producing a clean, monoline texture with crisp terminals and minimal modulation. Counters are squared-off and compact, and bowls and rounds read as faceted polygons rather than true arcs. Proportions lean slightly condensed in many glyphs, with tall, narrow forms and a tight, orderly rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where the angular construction can read clearly: interface labels, product UI mockups, sci‑fi or gaming titles, and tech-forward branding. It also works well for numeric-heavy applications such as dashboards, device panels, and cataloging/wayfinding elements that benefit from a systematic, geometric voice.
The overall tone is technological and engineered, evoking digital instrumentation and sci‑fi interface lettering. Its sharp facets and disciplined geometry feel precise and utilitarian, with a subtle retro-computer flavor rather than a warm, humanist voice.
The design appears intended to translate a sans-serif skeleton into a faceted, polygonal system, prioritizing consistency of corner treatment and stroke uniformity. It aims for a modern, engineered look that stays legible while emphasizing a distinct, angular character.
Diagonal joins are handled with consistent bevels, giving the design a coherent “cut metal” silhouette across letters like S, G, and the diagonals in K, V, W, and X. The figures follow the same faceted logic, maintaining strong uniformity for codes and short numeric strings.
