A compact, modular sans built from straight strokes and squared counters, with frequent chamfered corners that create a faceted, octagonal feel. Curves are largely avoided; bowls and rounds resolve into stepped angles, and terminals are clean and blunt. The rhythm is tight and mechanical, with simplified joins and consistent stroke thickness that keeps the texture even in longer lines. Distinctive, stencil-like cut-ins appear in several forms, lending a constructed, engineered look while maintaining clear, high-contrast silhouettes at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where its geometric quirks can be appreciated: headlines, logos, posters, packaging, and tech-themed branding. It also fits interface-style graphics such as game UI, titles, and on-screen labels, especially when a retro-futuristic or industrial tone is desired.
The overall tone is technical and game-like, suggesting digital hardware, sci‑fi interfaces, and retro arcade graphics. Its angular construction reads as assertive and utilitarian, with a slightly futuristic, signage-driven personality.
The design appears intended to translate a rigid, grid-based construction into an approachable sans, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a consistent mechanical rhythm. By replacing curves with chamfers and straight segments, it aims to evoke digital/industrial aesthetics while remaining legible in short phrases and titles.
Capitals lean toward wide, squared forms, while several lowercase letters adopt simplified, almost unicase structures that emphasize geometry over calligraphic nuance. Numerals are similarly boxy and architectural, designed to match the same chamfered, panel-like language across the set.
