A rectilinear, monoline sans built from straight strokes and crisp 90° corners, with rounded forms largely replaced by squared curves and clipped joins. The outlines feel modular and grid-driven, producing narrow letterforms with compact counters and frequent open corners (notably in C/G/S-like shapes) that read slightly stencil-like. Diagonals are used sparingly and appear sharply cut, while terminals are flat and squared, reinforcing a mechanical rhythm. Overall spacing and widths vary by glyph, but the consistent stroke logic and boxy geometry keep the texture even in running text.
It performs best in titles, short lines, and interface-style labeling where the geometric detailing is legible and intentional. The modular shapes suit tech branding, sci‑fi or retro-futurist graphics, event posters, packaging accents, and signage/wayfinding systems that benefit from a crisp, engineered look.
The font conveys a distinctly technical, retro-digital tone—evoking early computer terminals, arcade UI lettering, and schematic labeling. Its angular construction feels engineered and pragmatic rather than expressive, giving it a cool, system-like presence that reads as futuristic through restraint and repetition.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-based, digital signmaking aesthetic into a consistent sans alphabet, prioritizing straight-stroke construction, sharp corners, and a compact footprint. It aims for a distinctive, system-like voice that stays clean and functional while remaining visually stylized.
Many glyphs emphasize open apertures and notched corners, which boosts character differentiation at larger sizes but can create a slightly fragmented silhouette in dense paragraphs. Numerals and capitals share the same squared construction, supporting a cohesive, display-forward voice.
