A geometric sans with curves replaced by straight, chamfered segments, creating octagonal counters and sharply faceted terminals. Strokes are monolinear and evenly weighted, with flat horizontals/verticals and consistent diagonal joins that read like cut metal or vector plotter geometry. The overall build is spacious and slightly expanded, with open apertures and simplified forms that maintain clarity in both caps and lowercase. Numerals echo the same polygonal construction, notably the octagonal 0/6/8/9, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered rhythm across the set.
Best suited to logos, headlines, and short-form display settings where the faceted geometry can read clearly. It also fits UI theming, dashboards, and technical or industrial signage where a precise, engineered voice is desired; for longer text it will work most comfortably with generous size and spacing.
The faceted construction gives the typeface a technical, sci‑fi tone—clean, precise, and machine-made rather than handwritten or humanist. Its sharp corners and planar cuts suggest hardware interfaces, industrial labeling, and retro-digital aesthetics without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended to translate a modular, polygon-based construction into a practical sans, capturing a futuristic/industrial look while keeping letterforms straightforward and readable. The consistent chamfers and octagonal rounding feel optimized for a unified visual system across letters and numerals.
Round letters (C, G, O, Q and their lowercase counterparts) are particularly distinctive due to their multi-sided outlines, and the repeated chamfer motif creates a consistent texture in text. The design favors straight geometry over modulation, producing a crisp, schematic presence that stays legible at display sizes.
