A compact, rectilinear sans built from straight strokes and hard right angles, with squared corners and mostly closed, boxy counters. Curves are minimized into chamfered or stepped joins, creating a modular, cut-out look; diagonals appear sparingly and read as crisp, angular slices. Stroke weight is consistent and heavy, producing strong vertical emphasis and tight apertures that give the letters a rigid, engineered rhythm. Uppercase forms feel tall and architectural, while lowercase is simplified and geometric, often echoing the same squared construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, product titles, and bold interface labels where its angular structure can be read at a glance. It also fits retro-tech and game-adjacent branding, and works well for signage-style compositions that benefit from a rigid, constructed voice.
The overall tone is mechanical and signal-like, evoking industrial labeling, early digital interfaces, and arcade-era graphics. Its sharp geometry and dense black presence feel assertive and functional, with a slightly game/tech flavor that reads as designed rather than handwritten or humanist.
The design intent appears to be a compact, high-contrast display face that translates a geometric, grid-based construction into an all-caps-forward sans aesthetic. It emphasizes uniform stroke logic and squared counters to create a strong, modular texture suited to technical and futuristic themes.
Counters tend to be rectangular and tightly proportioned, which boosts impact but can reduce internal whitespace at smaller sizes. Distinctive details include squared bowls and notches in letters like G and S, and simplified lowercase structures that prioritize consistency with the uppercase’s modular system.
