A geometric sans with sharply chamfered corners that substitute for curves, producing an octagonal, faceted construction throughout. Strokes are even and rigid, with squared terminals and consistent angular joins that keep counters open and shapes legible. Round letters and numerals (like O/0 and 8) resolve into multi-sided forms, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) feel precise and engineered. Overall proportions are compact and orderly, creating a steady rhythm in text and a crisp, modular silhouette in display sizes.
Well-suited to interfaces, dashboards, and on-screen labels where a technical, grid-aligned look is desired. It also works for sci‑fi or retro-computing themed graphics, as well as compact signage and wayfinding where consistent, angular letterforms help maintain clarity.
The faceted geometry gives the font a technical, machine-made tone that reads as industrial and slightly retro-digital. Its strict angles and uniform rhythm evoke instrumentation, terminals, and hardware labeling rather than expressive or handwritten cues.
The font appears designed to translate a squared, engineered drawing style into a coherent text face by replacing curves with controlled planar facets. The goal seems to be a crisp, modular aesthetic that stays readable while projecting a distinctly technical character.
The design maintains strong consistency between uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with many glyphs sharing the same chamfer logic at corners and transitions. In running text, the repeated angled cuts create a subtle “pixel/plotter” texture that remains clean and structured rather than noisy.
