A geometric display face built from squared, modular forms with rounded outside corners and crisp, rectangular counters. Strokes alternate between very heavy horizontal slabs and much thinner verticals/diagonals, creating a strong horizontal emphasis and a distinctly mechanical rhythm. Many joins and terminals are squared-off and slot-like, with occasional cut-ins and segmented construction that reads slightly stencil-like. Proportions are compact with a tall x-height and relatively short extenders, while curves are largely replaced by radiused rectangles and straight segments.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as logos, titles, posters, packaging callouts, and tech or gaming UI labels where its modular details can be appreciated. It works particularly well on high-contrast backgrounds and in larger sizes; for longer passages, the dense, segmented texture can become visually busy.
The overall tone feels futuristic and synthetic, evoking digital interfaces, arcade graphics, and sci‑fi hardware labeling. Its segmented construction and heavy bars give it a tough, engineered attitude—playful in concept but assertive in presence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret sans-serif structure through a modular, screen-inspired construction, emphasizing horizontal power strokes and slot-like counters. It aims to deliver a distinctive, futuristic voice while maintaining consistent geometry across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Distinctive rectangular apertures and tightly controlled counters make the texture dense in text, especially at smaller sizes. Diagonal strokes (e.g., in N, V, W, X, Z) are sharp and architectural, while rounded corners keep the forms from feeling brittle. Numerals match the same modular, slot-based logic for a cohesive display set.
