A sharply geometric sans built from straight strokes and right angles, with squared counters and frequent cut-in notches that create a segmented, modular feel. Curves are largely avoided or heavily faceted, producing boxy bowls (O, D, Q) and clipped diagonals (N, V, X) with a deliberately mechanical rhythm. Terminals are flat and rectangular, apertures are tight, and the overall texture reads crisp and high-contrast in shape rather than stroke, emphasizing a constructed, grid-aware structure.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, logos, posters, game titles, and interface elements where its modular geometry can be featured at larger sizes. It can also work for short labels and signage-style applications, especially in tech, industrial, or retro-futurist themes.
The tone is futuristic and utilitarian, evoking digital hardware labeling, arcade-era UI, and industrial signage. Its angular construction feels technical and deliberate, leaning toward a sci‑fi/tech aesthetic with a retro edge.
The design intent appears to be a modern, constructed sans that prioritizes a distinctive, machine-made silhouette over conventional text warmth. By relying on squared contours, notched joins, and restrained diagonals, it aims to deliver an unmistakably technical voice that remains consistent across letters and numerals.
Distinctive details include squared, inset-like counters (e.g., e and a), a three-stem treatment in the m, and numerals with hard-corner geometry that maintains a consistent, engineered voice. The squared forms and internal cutouts can appear compact in dense text, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect readability.
