A geometric, faceted sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, with curves consistently replaced by planar cuts. Strokes maintain a steady thickness and produce a strong, high-contrast silhouette through sharp joins and clipped terminals. Proportions skew horizontally, with broad caps and a large, sturdy lowercase that keeps counters open but polygonal. The overall rhythm is modular and mechanical, with octagonal bowls (notably in O/o and 0) and frequent angled shoulders and diagonals that create a distinctive, engineered texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its faceted geometry can read clearly: headlines, branding marks, packaging, posters, and tech-leaning editorial callouts. It also fits game and sci‑fi interface styling, title screens, and short labels where a hard-edged, engineered voice is desired. For extended paragraphs, it will work most comfortably at larger sizes with generous tracking and leading to keep the angular texture from feeling crowded.
The face reads as assertive and high-tech, combining a machined, industrial feel with a retro arcade/techno edge. Its angular geometry and consistent faceting convey precision and hardness, making it feel more synthetic than humanist and more emblematic than conversational.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a consistent planar system, replacing curvature with controlled facets to achieve a futuristic, machined aesthetic. The emphasis is on strong silhouettes and a unified, modular construction that keeps letters and numerals visually consistent in both isolated and text settings.
Round forms are systematically squared-off into multi-sided shapes, and several glyphs incorporate diagonally clipped corners that emphasize motion and directionality. Numerals and uppercase share the same faceted logic, giving alphanumerics a cohesive, display-forward presence. In longer lines, the dense geometry creates a strong patterning effect, so spacing and line length will noticeably influence legibility.
