A sharply angular, faceted sans with chamfered corners and squared counters that replace curves with planar cuts. Strokes are blocky and mostly monolinear in feel, with small notches and diagonal truncations creating a mechanical rhythm. Proportions are compact with tall lowercase and tight apertures, while the capitals read boxy and architectural. Numerals follow the same cut-corner construction, with segmented-looking joins and a slightly modular, display-oriented silhouette.
Best suited to titles, branding marks, posters, and short callouts where its angular construction can read crisply. It also fits game interfaces, tech-themed graphics, and packaging or labels that benefit from a rugged, engineered texture.
The overall tone is hard-edged and engineered, evoking industrial labeling and retro-digital/arcade typography. Its faceted construction gives it a futuristic, game-like energy while retaining a utilitarian, technical attitude.
The font appears designed to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, cut-metal aesthetic, prioritizing distinctive silhouette and consistent chamfer logic over smooth curves. Its forms aim for a compact, punchy presence that feels technical and display-forward.
The design relies on consistent corner cuts and squared terminals, producing strong texture and high presence at display sizes. Dense interior spaces and tight openings can reduce clarity in longer passages, but they reinforce the compact, mechanical look.
