A geometric, modular sans with squared forms and crisp right angles, punctuated by occasional diagonal joins. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline in feel at a distance, but with clear internal notches and alternating thick–thin moments created by cut-ins, counters, and segmented construction. Curves are minimized into rounded-rectangle corners, producing boxy bowls and squared counters (notably in O/Q and lowercases like o/e). Terminals are flat and abrupt, and several letters use separated bars or inset apertures that read as engineered gaps rather than smooth transitions, giving the alphabet a constructed, almost pixel-grid discipline.
Best suited to display settings where its angular construction can read clearly: headlines, poster titling, logos, packaging, and technology- or gaming-adjacent interfaces. It can also work for short callouts and labels where a rigid, engineered tone is desired, while longer passages will emphasize its busy, segmented texture.
The font projects a distinctly digital, game-interface attitude—precise, mechanical, and slightly aggressive. Its segmented details and squared silhouettes evoke sci‑fi control panels, 8‑bit/arcade graphics, and industrial labeling, balancing retro-tech nostalgia with a hard-edged modernity.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-built, digital aesthetic into a clean sans framework, using squared geometry and purposeful cutouts to create a distinctive techno voice while maintaining legible letterforms.
The design relies on strong silhouette recognition through squared bowls, boxed counters, and distinctive cutouts, which can add personality but also increases visual texture in running text. Lowercase forms follow the same modular logic as uppercase, with compact bowls and angular shoulders that keep the rhythm tight and graphically consistent.
