This typeface is built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp facets that create octagonal counters and squared terminals. Stems maintain even thickness with minimal modulation, while joins are clean and mostly orthogonal, producing a constructed, engineered feel. Proportions are compact and geometric, with open apertures and sturdy rectangular shapes that keep forms clear at display sizes. Numerals follow the same chamfered logic, including a slashed zero that reinforces the technical tone.
It performs best in headlines and short text where the angular details can be appreciated, such as tech branding, posters, product packaging, and interface labels. The clear geometry and sturdy forms also suit signage and wayfinding applications, especially when a modern-industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is technical and futuristic, with an industrial, machine-made character. Its faceted geometry evokes signage, instrumentation, and digital-era design, reading as precise, controlled, and slightly retro-tech.
The design intention appears to be a geometric sans with chamfered, planar detailing—aiming for a clean, engineered look that feels modern, technical, and visually distinctive without relying on ornament.
The facet treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving the font a strong systematized rhythm. Lowercase forms mirror the uppercase design language closely, emphasizing uniformity and a constructed appearance rather than calligraphic softness.
