A rectilinear, monoline sans with squared counters and frequent chamfered corners that soften otherwise hard right angles. Strokes maintain an even thickness with a modular, constructed feel, and many joins resolve into clipped diagonals rather than curves. The set mixes straight verticals and horizontals with occasional angled terminals (notably in diagonals and V/W forms), creating a crisp, grid-based rhythm. Proportions read on the wide side with open spacing, and the lowercase keeps simple, single-storey forms that align with the font’s geometric structure.
Well-suited to headlines, titles, and short blocks of copy where its geometric construction can read clearly and set a strong tone. It also fits interface labels, tech or gaming graphics, and brand marks that want a crisp, constructed sans without ornamentation. For best results, use at moderate-to-large sizes to showcase the corner treatments and squared counters.
The overall tone feels futuristic and engineered, evoking digital interfaces, signage, and retro-tech aesthetics. Its squared shapes and clipped corners suggest precision and machinery, giving text a confident, synthetic voice rather than a humanist one.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, grid-informed sans that signals technology and modernity through angular outlines, chamfered joins, and consistent stroke weight. Its simplified, constructed letterforms prioritize a bold, futuristic texture while remaining legible in typical display applications.
The angular construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with several characters using distinctive cut-ins and open corners that help differentiation in display sizes. The design favors flat terminals and squared bowls, producing a clean, modular texture in longer lines of text.
