A geometric, square-built sans with uniform stroke weight and sharply cut terminals. Letterforms are constructed from straight segments and right angles, with occasional 45° joins in diagonals (notably in V/W/X/K) and tightly controlled counters that often read as rectangular slots. The overall rhythm is compact and mechanical: curves are largely suppressed, apertures are small, and several glyphs use notched or segmented strokes that create a quasi-stencil, modular feel. Proportions skew broad and stable, with low apparent x-height and strong horizontal emphasis in many forms.
Best suited to display sizes where the angular detailing and rectangular counters remain clear—such as game UI headings, sci‑fi or techno titles, posters, branding marks, and short labels. It can also work for packaging or event graphics that benefit from a rigid, electronic aesthetic, while longer body text may feel dense due to tight apertures and compact interior space.
The font conveys a distinctly digital, game-interface tone—precise, engineered, and slightly aggressive. Its blocky geometry and cut-in details evoke retro arcade graphics and sci‑fi UI labeling, giving text a synthetic, machine-made voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a futuristic, modular sans voice with strong grid discipline and high-impact presence. Its squared construction and deliberate notches suggest a goal of referencing digital signage and arcade-era letterforms while keeping the system consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Uppercase and lowercase share a closely related construction, with lowercase simplified into compact, angular silhouettes that maintain the same squared logic. Numerals follow the same modular strategy, producing a cohesive alphanumeric system suited to grid-based layouts and display settings where crisp geometry is a feature rather than a distraction.
