A dense, block-built sans with squared bowls, hard corners, and largely orthogonal construction. Strokes are consistently heavy, with frequent rectangular counters and notch cuts that create a modular, almost pixel-like silhouette. Curves are minimized and when present are flattened into faceted corners, giving letters a compact, engineered feel. Spacing appears intentionally tight and rhythmic, with simplified joins and occasional cut-ins that read like stencil breaks or chiseled facets.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, game UI titling, album art, packaging, and bold branding marks where its blocky geometry can be read clearly. It can also work for signage-style labels or interface accents, but its heavy mass and tight interior spaces suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone feels assertive and utilitarian, with a retro-digital edge reminiscent of arcade graphics, industrial labeling, and sci‑fi interfaces. Its geometric heft and crisp right angles convey strength and urgency rather than softness or elegance.
The design intent appears to be a contemporary, modular display sans that evokes technical and retro-futuristic references through squared counters, notched details, and an intentionally machined finish.
Several glyphs use distinctive internal cutouts and stepped terminals that strengthen the grid-based aesthetic and improve differentiation at display sizes. The distinctive, squared negative spaces and occasional diagonal facets add character while keeping the system visually consistent.
