A geometric, faceted sans with consistent stroke thickness and squared proportions. Curves are replaced by planar chamfers, giving bowls and corners an octagonal, cut-metal look. Letterforms sit on a rigid grid with even spacing and a steady rhythm; counters are compact and rectangular, and terminals are flat or sharply beveled. Uppercase shapes are blocky and wide, while the lowercase follows the same angular logic with simplified, mechanical constructions.
Works well for interface labels, HUDs, and game UI where a technical, modular voice is desired, and for posters or headline treatments that benefit from a sharp, futuristic texture. It can also suit signage-style applications when a compact, engineered aesthetic is more important than soft readability.
The overall tone feels technical and engineered, with a retro-futurist edge reminiscent of digital instrumentation and hardware labeling. Its crisp facets and uniform rhythm read as purposeful and utilitarian rather than expressive or handwritten.
The design appears intended to translate a strict grid and uniform stroke system into a distinctive faceted silhouette, evoking machined geometry in place of curves. It prioritizes consistency and a strong, recognizable texture across alphanumerics for display and UI-centric typography.
Distinctive chamfering appears consistently across rounds (C, G, O, Q, 0) and diagonals (K, M, N, W, X), reinforcing a cohesive ‘machined’ texture. The numerals are similarly angular, with a notably geometric 0 and a stepped, segmented feel across 2–9 that supports an industrial display voice.
