A rigid, modular sans built from straight strokes and hard 90° corners, with occasional diagonal cuts used as directional accents. Counters and apertures are predominantly rectangular, producing a boxy rhythm and a strong grid-aligned texture. Terminals are flat and abrupt, and many forms rely on open corners or clipped joins, creating a subtle stencil-like segmentation. The overall structure favors wide bowls and extended horizontals, yielding a broad, assertive word shape with consistent stroke color.
This design performs best in large sizes where its rectangular counters and clipped joins can be appreciated—headlines, posters, product marks, and titling. It also suits interface-style settings such as gaming overlays, sci-fi themed graphics, and technical branding where a modular, engineered texture is desirable. For long-form reading, it’s more effective as a thematic accent than as a primary text face.
The tone is distinctly techno and game-like, evoking arcade UI, sci-fi instrumentation, and industrial labeling. Its strict geometry and clipped corners read as engineered and digital, with a slightly retro-futurist edge. The dense, high-contrast silhouette gives it a commanding, display-first presence.
The letterforms suggest an intention to translate a grid-based, digital construction into a clean display sans, prioritizing impact and a distinctive modular voice over traditional typographic warmth. The clipped corners and segmented joins appear designed to imply machinery, circuitry, or pixel-era styling while maintaining consistent stroke logic across the set.
Diagonal notches appear selectively (notably in letters with pointed or directional joins), adding motion without breaking the otherwise orthogonal system. Some letters use open notches and squared apertures that can make similar shapes converge at smaller sizes, reinforcing a stylized, coded aesthetic rather than a conventional text feel.
