A geometric, modular sans with a sparse, linear construction and crisp right-angle turns. Curves are largely avoided in favor of squared and chamfered corners, producing octagonal-like bowls and rounded forms that feel engineered rather than handwritten. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness with generous interior counters, while proportions stay tall and compact. Diagonals appear as short, clipped segments (not smooth arcs), and terminals end bluntly, reinforcing a schematic, grid-built rhythm.
This font is best suited to display sizes where its angular detailing and modular geometry stay clear—headlines, posters, logotypes, and title treatments. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation elements in tech or game-themed interfaces, but its stylization may feel rigid in long-form reading.
The overall tone is technical and retro-futuristic, reminiscent of digital signage, early computer graphics, and sci‑fi interface lettering. Its angularity and clean spacing give it an orderly, utilitarian voice with a slightly playful, arcade-era edge.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-and-angle construction into a cohesive sans alphabet, prioritizing a mechanical, systemized look over conventional calligraphic curves. It emphasizes a distinctive, futuristic voice while keeping forms consistent and legible through simple, repeatable geometry.
Several capitals use simplified, sign-like constructions (e.g., squared bowls and cut corners), and the lowercase follows a similarly geometric logic, with single-storey forms and minimal modulation. Numerals are narrow and linear, matching the alphabet’s strict, engineered character.
