A geometric, rectilinear sans built from thick, monoline strokes with squared terminals and tightly controlled right angles. Counters are mostly rectangular and often partially opened, giving several letters a cut-out, stencil-like construction. The design uses a modular rhythm with consistent stroke weight, minimal curvature, and occasional diagonal joins for letters like K, V, W, X, and Y. Proportions read as broad and sturdy, with compact apertures and a slightly segmented, grid-derived feel across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to large sizes where its angular cut-outs and rectangular counters can read clearly—such as headlines, posters, esports and gaming UI, product branding for tech or hardware, and bold signage. It can also work for short subheads or labels when a distinctly digital, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone feels technical and machine-made, evoking digital interfaces, arcade hardware, and sci‑fi signage. Its hard corners and carved openings convey a rugged, engineered character rather than a humanist or editorial one.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-based, futuristic aesthetic into a robust sans that remains highly graphic and consistent across letters and numerals. The repeated right-angle geometry and deliberate openings suggest an emphasis on distinctive silhouette and screen-like personality over conventional text neutrality.
Lowercase forms echo the same squared logic as the caps, with single-storey shapes and simplified constructions that keep the texture uniform. Numerals follow the same boxy geometry, emphasizing straight segments and sharp corners for an assertive, display-oriented texture.
